Our Twinklers, Group Violins, and Orchestra played for the residence of Leigh Mall in Columbus on Nov.25. Thanks to Malina Duff for sharing some video! 

Suzuki String Advanced Ensemble members, Abbey and Gracie Swartzendruber, Aidan Dunkelberg, Hope Bassett, and Charity James, auditioned and were chosen to be Student Apprentice members of the Starkville Symphony for the 2016-2017 Season. They are pictured above with Suzuki String Founder and Teachers, Trudy Gildea, Patti Gildea, Lucy, Laura, and Scott Sandifer and Suzuki Program Director Diane Ford.

All performed works by Haydn, Harris, and Mozart at the September 16th Starkville Symphony Concert at MUW’s Rent Auditorium under the Direction of Dr. Barry Kopetz.
Julia Mortyakova, Head of the Music Department at MUW, performed the Piano Concerto No.2 composed by her Mother, Olga Harris.

The next upcoming SSO Free Concerts is the Criss Christmas Concert December 2nd at MSU’s Lee Hall at 7:30 pm.

A big thank you to the Sandifers and Diane Ford for organizing an orchestra picnic this year! And thanks to all the parents (and children) who brought food for the potluck and came to Lee Park to have fun together. It was a great afternoon, and the weather was perfect, at least until it was time to go home.

Congratulations to all who took the stage in Poindexter Auditorium for the program’s annual spring recital. Everyone did a great performance, and it was a wonderful afternoon to culminate a very busy and rewarding year!
