What it reported doing in 2023

Finale Concert - May 2023Once again, CYOSC hosted the large auditorium at Santa Ana High School for the season finale. Tickets are sold for this event since the venue hire and additional professionals hired to cover any gaps in the orchestra are our biggest annual concert cost. Color programs were produced featuring the Solo Festival winners (2 flutists playing a double concerto) who performed their concerto with the Symphony Orchestra. Also featured in the program were supporters of the orchestra, seniors graduating from the program, and a message from the executive director. Ticket sales were high and the concert was a success. The final item on the program included all members of all three ensembles, including all the CSP students, on stage to perform a piece together. It was difficult to coordinate rehearsals all together in advance of this concert, but it was well worth the effort and it was a great experience for all the students.
