THE HARRISBURG SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA’S PUBLICATION FOR MUSIC EDUCATORS AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS JANUARY 2012 More Musicians Playing! Last year, many HSO musicians performed in area schools on one spectacular morning. This year, the HSO looks to make even more visits to school music programs, classrooms, and assemblies as we embark on 100 Musicians Playing 2012 on Friday, February 10. As solo performers, duets, trios, and even some larger ensembles, HSO musicians will perform, teach, entertain, and, inspire young people to want to play. Most professional musicians say that it was an encounter with a musician at a young age that inspired them to want to make music. The HSO is happy to provide just such encounters where students can have the immediacy of contact with professional musicians. 100 Musicians Playing is a great opportunity for school groups to connect with a musician or small group of musicians at no cost to the school. Please contact Alice Anne Schwab, Director of Education at the HSO office aschwab@ harrisburgsymphony.org if you are interested in participating in 100 Musicians Playing. Spring Young Person’s Concert April 13, 2012 One of the highlights of the Masterworks season at the HSO is our Young Person’s Concerts, with one held in the fall and another in the spring. This season’s spring concert takes place on Friday, April 13, 2012 and it will feature music of iconic characters: Aaron Copland’s Billy the Kid (Suite) and Richard Strauss’ epic, Don Quixote. Young Person’s Concerts are a gift to our community’s students from the Hathaway Family Foundation.
