District 99 Orchestra Fall Concert













On the heels of an amazing performance with the internationally acclaimed fiddling troupe Barrage, the District 99 Orchestra presented a concert this evening featuring a wide range of repertoire that was performed with professional precision.

Featured above, the concert concluded with a combined rendition of a medley from Pirates of the Carribean featuring the D99 Symphony Orchestra and the Herrick Middle School Orchestra. A highlight of the evening was guest soloist Jennifer Leckie performed Saraste's challenging Zigeunerweisen to a rave audience ovation.













The D99 Concert Orchestra and Symphony Orchestra performed stunning repertoire, ranging from Bach's Little Fugue in g minor to Vaughan Williams' Concerto Grosso for String Orchestra.

Special thanks to Lisa Rose and the Herrick Middle School Orchestra for opening and closing the performance. Great to see and hear these future D99 Orchestra members on the stage at North High this evening!
