200+ student musicians gathered at Downers Grove South High School today for the 2021 D99/D58 String Festival Workshop. Musicians worked in student led-small groups, focusing on improving performance repertoire. After small group work, the students gathered on the stage of the new DGS Auditorium for a combined rehearsal.
This festival is in preparation for a combined concert featuring student string musicians from Herrick Middle School, O'Neill Middle School, and the D99 Orchestra. The concert, on Thursday, October 14, 2021 at 7:00 PM in the auditorium of South High School, is free and open to the public to attend.
Special thanks to D99 Orchestra director Ms. Amanda Zall, Herrick Middle School Orchestra director Ms. Madelyn Fiene, and O'Neill Middle School Director Ms. Julie Spring for coordinating this event.
