Santa Cruz County Symphony poised to open  rehearsals to Cabrillo students, starting November 15!

New Santa Cruz County Symphony Music Director Danny Stewart is very interested in providing an opportunity for Cabrillo students to attend an open rehearsal for the Symphony’s next concert set. His intent is to give students an opportunity to observe the process of producing a concert program that accomplishes the director’s goals and the interactions between the musicians and soloists and the conductor. The plan is to pilot this educational outreach Friday evening, November 15, at the Civic Auditorium at 7:30. There is one break at 9:00, at which time they will be free to leave or stay for the second half. The program for the November concerts features an 18-year old cellist, Austin Huntington, winner of the 2012 Klein International String Competition, and former principal cellist of the South Bend Youth Symphony Orchestra when that ensemble was conducted by Dean John Graulty!
