Dear Youth Symphony members,

Thank you so much for performing such an inspiring concert on November 20. The setting was incredibly beautiful and the music pouring from your instruments and your hearts and souls was equally amazing.

The music links for the Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 6 will be ready soon. I hope you enjoy spending time during December becoming acquainted with it. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding part assignments.

Happy holidays!

Sincerely,

Dr. Metzger Howe

I am excited to present our season’s theme for 2022-23, “Favorites and Farewells.”

The repertoire will feature compositions that are favorites of mine, plus music that is based on farewells of different kinds – the subject of death, music that was created at the end of a composer’s life, etc. The season’s music is listed below.

I hope you enjoy listening to the fall quarter compositions.

Enjoy!

Dr. Metzger Howe
