When: 3 PM, SUNDAY NOVEMBER 19
WHERE: UCSC Music Center Recital Hall
You're in for a treat this Sunday, when the Santa Cruz County Youth Symphony presents a rich and varied program showcasing two featured artists!
This fall concert will feature classics by Ravel and Copland and music from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by John Williams. You'll also hear two modern works: Jennifer Jolley's Motordom, and The Middle of Nowhere, a lovely, evocative composition by Santa Cruz County Youth Symphony Concertmaster Benjamin Goodwin.
Antonio Plaza, winner of the Youth Symphony Concerto Competition, will impress you with his sweet performance of the Andante Cantabile from Rimsky-Korsakov's Trombone Concerto. The Starling Violin Quartet, from our Chamber Music Academy, will open the program.
