The Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra Presents its 57th Season Finale Concert
The Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra would like to celebrate another outstanding season with a thoughtfully crafted collection of classical music masterpieces. The FSYO's 57th Season Finale will take place on Sunday, May 4, 2014, at the historic Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre in Downtown Orlando. All four of the organization's award winning youth orchestras will be performing and will feature soloist and Concerto Competition finalist, Tyler Pacheco, 17 (viola), performing the 1st Movement of the Walton Viola Concerto. Forty graduating seniors will also be recognized for their unbreakable dedication to FSYO and to furthering their classical music development.
The FSYO strives to recognize our students' talents and give them opportunities to showcase that talent in the best venues. About soloing on stage at the Bob Carr, Tyler says, "I think it is everyone's dream to play as a soloist with an orchestra, there is nothing like it. I have wanted to play with an orchestra since I can remember, and to be given the opportunity on such a grand stage, with the Symphonic Orchestra at the Bob Carr center, it truly feels like a dream come true."
The Viola Concerto by William Walton was the piece that brought Walton to the forefront of British Classical Music. This piece has proven to be technically challenging for even the most accomplished violists, but Tyler feels that "getting the composer's wishes across to the audience is more challenging than any sixteenth note run". We hope that you will join us as Tyler tackles this piece, backed by his peers of FSYO's Symphonic Orchestra.
FSYO will also host a silent auction to take place during the event, featuring items from some of Central Florida's best restaurant, retail and entertainment venues. Proceeds will serve to support and enhance the opportunities FSYO can offer to nurture the talents of young musicians throughout Central Florida.
The concert will begin at 4 p.m. at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre, 401 W Livingston St, Downtown Orlando on Sunday, May 4, 2014. Tickets range from $8.00 to $16.00 and can be purchased via www.fsyo.org. As usual, all teachers receive free admission to this and all FSYO concerts.
