The Hendersonville Symphony Youth Orchestra will perform in concert at 4 p.m. Sunday, May 7, at the Bo Thomas Auditorium at Blue Ridge Community College. Tickets are $7 per person available at the door one hour prior to the concert.
This is the second of two annual concerts the HSYO presents, each a culmination of a semester’s worth of musical studies and practice. For r, this concert offers the young musicians an opportunity to share months and months of hard work with the community.
“This concert is the culmination of a semester of hard work,” said Dorian Neuendorf, Hendersonville Symphony Orchestra’s Operations Manager and Youth Symphony Artistic and Administrative Director. “From an educational viewpoint, it is all about technique and styles; constantly building on things. It is a fine balancing act of what to undertake and the end results.”
One of those results is teamwork and fostering a supportive environment. The youth orchestra conducts a concerto competition annually to highlight an outstanding member. This year both Noelani Perry, a senior violinist, and Cole Jenkins, a junior cellist, will be featured in selections supported by the rest of the youth symphony.
On the program are Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Coriolan Overture, Opus 62,” Saint-Saens’ “Violin Concerto No. 3, Opus 61, First Movement” (featuring Noelani Perry), “Cello Concerto No. 3, Opus 51, First Movement” by Georg Goltermann (featuring Cole Jenkins), and Franz Schubert’s “Symphony No. Eight, ‘Unfinished’.”
Founded in 1971, the Hendersonville Symphony Orchestra exists to enrich the Hendersonville and Henderson County communities with live symphonic performances and music education opportunities for youth and adults.
