2024 Youth Outreach Week Description
Sinfonia is again offering its summer Youth Outreach Week! Up to fifty of the region’s very talented young musicians will join the orchestra and experience a “week in the life” of a professional musician. Participating students will engage in four intensive orchestra rehearsals with Sinfonia musicians for Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony Number 8, and then join the orchestra in a public concert performance of this masterpiece at the beautiful Lake Harriet Bandshell in Minneapolis. This is an amazing and unique experience for our community’s up-and-coming young musicians!
How To Participate
Who’s eligible?
Advanced music students up to age 19 with a teacher recommendation. Participants must commit to being at ALL rehearsals and the concert.
Where do we rehearse?
Pax Christi Church, 12100 Pioneer Trail, Eden Prairie, MN 55347. Bring a music stand to all rehearsals!
How much does it cost?
