Well done District 99 Orchestra!









The District 99 Orchestra presented a fabulous Winter Concert this evening, featuring diverse programming and exceptional soloists.  Highlights included Ashokan Farewell performed by the Concert Orchestra, a student arrangement of  "The Swan" from The Carnival of The Animals featuring cello and alto saxophone arranged by Samantha Young, and two stunning senior soloists, violist Kathryn Krajewski and cellist Andrew Molina.

Both Concert Orchestra and Symphonic Orchestra played musically and with mature sounds on every selection.  Special shout out to the winds and percussion for performing extremely well on both the Hoffmeister and the Dvorak.  The generous standing ovation by the patrons at the end of the performance was well deserved by the student musicians and their conductor, Jennifer Mullen.
