"Music Moves Us" - D99/D58 2017 Fall Concert













This evening more than 200 student musicians from four schools and two districts gathered to celebrate music as the District 99 Orchestra sponsored the "Music Moves Us" concert.  The repertoire during the concert celebrated dance music from nearly one dozen different cultures, highlighted by student program notes and slides to highlight the meaning of the music for the patrons.  The capacity crowd in the auditorium departed with a palpable enthusiasm for the success of the concert, both in the diversity of repertoire and in the fabulous performances by all the student musicians.

Thanks to the O'Neill Middle School Orchestra, Julie Spring, director, and the Herrick Middle School Orchestra, Madeline Fiene, director, for their significant sonic contributions to this performance.
Thanks also to D99 Orchestra director Jennifer Mullen for envisioning and planning such a collaborative event.  Special thanks to Mr. Dan O'Connell for leading the District 99 Orchestras with artistic grace and elegance during the preparation of this event.
