Members of the District 99 Orchestra attended an open rehearsal of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra featuring cellist Yo-Yo Ma. The CSO is preparing for a weekend concert series Chicago Symphony Orchestra with Yo-Yo Ma . In addition to learning invaluable observational insight into the rehearsal procedures of a major symphony orchestra, the student musicians were treated to a post-rehearsal conversation with Yo-Yo Ma. During the conversation, Yo-Yo Ma shared insight into performance preparation and his philosophy of performance. Thanks to Ms. Mullen for creating this experience for the student musicians in the D99 Orchestra.
You can hear the D99 Orchestra on Tuesday, March 5, 2012 at 7:00 PM the Clarence Johnson Auditorium at North High School in Downers Grove.
