Wash.Metro. Youth Orchestra presents FREE Winter Concert Sunday Feb.11th at 3 pm at Bishop Ireton HS
Washington Metropolitan Youth Orchestra (WMYO) offers an engaging and dynamic repertoire at its Winter Concert. They will perform JOSÉ ELIZONDO’s “Estampas Mexicanas” and FLORENCE PRICE’s “Symphony No. 3, Movement IV.” These middle and high schoolers are up to the challenge.
Music Director Alberto Rodriguez has grown the ensemble and its aspirations. In his words: “I am excited about the opportunities that a group like the WMYO presents. This organization has a fantastic legacy of community collaborations and partnerships, student-centered repertoire choices, and the featuring of senior soloists. I believe we also have a bright and exciting future as an ensemble that provides excellent growth and performance opportunities to some of the most gifted young musicians in the greater Alexandria area both musically and personally as we perform brilliant music as diverse as the communities we live in.”
