Don’t miss this opportunity to gather with family and friends to celebrate the joy of music this holiday season.
On Sunday, Dec. 15 at 5 p.m., Sinfonia Gulf Coast presents all ensembles of the Sinfonia Youth Orchestra in concert at Destin High School.
Our Winter Concert is a fun and festive annual tradition that showcases the talent of our area’s finest young musicians performing holiday favorites. This year’s concert will feature Sinfonietta Strings, Intermediate Strings, Symphonic Orchestra and the After School Beginning Strings students who will join together from our host schools in Okaloosa and Walton County. Selections on the program include international folk songs such as Good King Wenceslas and Dreidel; favorite Christmas carols such as Let It Snow!, Here Comes Santa Claus and a special arrangement from The Nutcracker ballet, plus a sneak peak of our Spring Concert.
“This is a festive way to get into the spirit of the holidays,” says Sinfonia Youth Orchestra director Margaret Gordon. “This is a great opportunity to hear the only symphonic youth orchestra in Okaloosa County. This will be a fun performance that will warm your heart by showcasing the talents of local student musicians who have joined us to grow their skills and give back to the community.”
This concert is free and open to the public.
“Education is the centerpiece of Sinfonia. It was founded in 2005 not only for its entertainment value, but for the fact that Northwest Florida needed an organization that could be the proponent for arts education in schools, specifically music education,” said Sinfonia Gulf Coast Music & Artistic Director Demetrius Fuller. The Sinfonia Youth Orchestras are wonderful ways for local youth to grow their musical talents, but it would not be a full experience without an audience, so we hope everyone will come out to and support our youth orchestras.”
