Every year, the South orchestra plays a concert themed specifically for children. This year’s concert takes place on Sunday, December 8, at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. The theme is “Toys!” and will feature all three of the High School South orchestras — the string ensemble, the camarata, and the philharmonia.
The concert features popular music related to the theme, including pieces taken from many full works, including the “Toy Story II” soundtrack and Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker.” Students also perform a small play as the concert progresses, written and coordinated by the musicians. Tickets are $8.
Jean Mauro conducts the musicians. Section leaders include Brian Yee, Kathleen Wan, Janet Eo, Penny Luan, Tiffaney Hsia, Raadhika Kher, Krishna Mallem, Jyotsna Suresh, Jason Xie, and Tzuriel Tong.
“The Children’s Concert never fails to delight children of any age, and we guarantee a blast for parents as well,” says Raadhika Kher.
