Congratulations to the student musicians in the District 99 Concert Orchestra and the District 99 Symphonic Orchestra for preparing and presenting an outstanding Spring Concert. Both ensembles played a challenging program of repertoire with artistry and fluency. The patrons in the hall were especially impressed by the full orchestra performance of Overture to Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg by Richard Wagner, as well as the outstanding solos presented by seniors Joseph Delorto (viola) and Cecilia Kowara (soprano).Special kudos and congratulations to the D99 Orchestra members of the Class of 2018 - we will miss you and thank you for your dedication to our orchestra program. We expect you all to join us this time next year, as alumni, to perform The Final Countdown. We also extend a hearty welcome home to all the alumni in attendance tonight - it was great to see you all!
