2008 Concert Scheduled for Saturday
May 3 in UCLA's Schoenberg Concert Hall
Los Angeles, Calif.
-- A citywide student orchestra of 140 of the city’s brightest
students from two dozen Los Angeles area public and private elementary
schools will present one-hour program of classical and popular music
at the 10th annual All Schools Elementary Honor Youth Orchestra
in UCLA’s
Schoenberg Hall on Saturday, May 3, 2008.
The performance, produced by conductor Larry
Newman, features the children’s symphony, a jazz ensemble,
string ensemble, and several featured performers.
“These students are exceptionally talented, and together,
make music that inspires not only their parents, but also anyone in Los Angeles
who is interested in music, the arts and education,” said Newman. “The
honors orchestra is a diverse group of children that come together to play
beautiful music in a professional concert setting.”
Now in its tenth year, this orchestra is the first
and only collaboration of the city’s best and brightest public
and private elementary school music students. “It is a shining
example of the power and importance of music education in the school
curriculum,” said
Newman.
Each child is individually selected by his/her school music
teacher. Student ages range from seven to twelve, with the average age of
an honor orchestra member being just ten years old.
The Children’s Music Workshop, founded by Newman in
1992, provides instrumental music instruction to schools throughout Los Angeles.
The rehearsal and performance will be video taped for
broadcast in high definition.
