YOUNG VIRTUOSOS 2019
A Special Training Program for Young Musicians
 
 
 
This is our 3rd concert of the Young Virtuosos series. 
 
Orchestra members will have the opportunity to choose their favorite pieces, and those pieces will be arranged for solo instruments and for orchestra by Dr. Koo. In the concert, selected members will play their piece as a soloist accompanied by the orchestra.
 
This concert provides an unprecedented opportunity for young musicians to have their first attempt as a soloist accompanied by an orchestra in front of a live audience.  They will learn the procedure and etiquette involved in such a performance and will bring to a young musician an unforgettable and empowering experience. This valuable and unique experience will elevate their performance qualities and their love and passion for music.
 
All young musicians under 15 year of age and have been learning any of the following instruments for about 2 years are welcome to apply for this program:
 
  • Violin
  • Viola
  • Cello
  • Double Bass
  • Flute
  • Oboe
