Hello, All!

 

Thank you for attending today’s concert! Our musicians have continued to work hard throughout the season, and we’re delighted to showcase their efforts in our second concert of the season.

 

I’d like to thank the following for making this concert possible:

 

First, our sincere thanks to Rory Edwards and the SCSD Fine Arts Department for generously providing Henninger High School as today’s SYO concert venue. Thanks to Dr. Lisa Miller and Onondaga Community College for offering their rehearsal spaces.

 

Thank you to the Syracuse Sounds of Music Association and Susan Klenk for providing tuition assistance so that the SYO can be affordable to all young musicians. Our season sponsor is Matthew Vacanti, owner of Arco Art Violin Shop.

 

Thank you to Jon Garland and Tim Guhl for helping produce this concert. Thank you to Pamela Murchison and Brian Pope for managing our front-of-house area.

 

Many thanks to Sara Silva, Sonya Stith Williams, Walden Bass, Yurie Mitsuhashi, Gregory Wood, William Ford-Smith, Heejung Yang, Laura Smith, Rachel Koeth, Leanna Ginsburg, and Ben Dettleback for holding sectional rehearsals to prepare them for today’s concert!
