Side-By-Side Concert This Thursday, May 20

The ability of music to inspire is an astonishing thing. Countless generations have felt the power and emotion of music as listeners, and performers have constantly reinvented the melodies heard around the world. As a fixture of Ann Arbor musical and artistic culture, the A2SO has touched the lives of audiences of all ages. This Thursday, the symphony will not only inspire young musicians at its Side-By-Side Concert, but also foster the remarkable talents of younger generations. Join us for this wonderful event, Thursday May 20, 2010 at the Jane Tasch Performing Arts Theater at 7:15 PM. Tickets are available for $10 at the Pinckney Community Schools central office and Busch's. Tickets are also available at the door.

The Navigator 6th Grade Orchestra opens the show with a solo repertoire followed by an A2SO and Pathfinder combined repertoire (Brahms Symphony No. 2, 4th mvt. and Pirates of the Caribbean arrangement). The A2so will also play a solo repertoire (Dvorak Symphony No. 9, 1st mvt. and Berlioz Roman Carnival Overture) and will be joined to play another combined repertoire by the High School Orchestra (Ravel Pavanne for a Dead Princess and Saint-Saens Bacchanale).

Since its beginning, the Side-by-Side Concert has inspired countless young musicians as they join professional orchestra members for a night of incredible music. This is a night of music not to be missed- we hope to see you there!

  1. the community support for these young musicians is tremendous. It is one of the highlights of my year to watch the moms, dads, little sisters, older brothers leap up from their seats to cheer the excellent music. I hope everybody in Pinckney will turn out for this on Thursday
