Strings students, age 4 through adult, perform on violin, viola, and
cello. Music ranges from classical
composers such as Bach and
Vivaldi, as well as fiddle
pieces and two exciting Spanish
inspired selections.
Lindsay
Szczesny leads the orchestra in the Brandenburg Concerto #3 finale by Bach, a Vivaldi violin concerto and a
piece by Schubert.
The
cellists present Now, Let Us Rejoice by William Phelps and You Raise Me Up by Lovland and Graham. Viola students and teachers join for a Tango by Albeniz and
a Double Viola Concerto by
Telemann.
Fiddle
pieces are always a favorite part of the concert. Selections are the Yellow Rose of Texas and a square dance tune, First Two Ladies Cross
Over. The bluegrass favorite Crawdad
features the orchestra. Additional
music includes French ballet music, a Brahms Waltz, and dances composed by Bach. Advanced violin students head to Spain
with a Fandango by McLean and Habanera by Bizet.

teach weekly group classes assisted by pianists Margarita Castro and Jessica
Sorensen.

participation in lessons, professional recordings, and group classes in
addition to private lessons to help the children develop their musical
talents. The Sterling and Shelli
Gardner Foundation and the Suzuki Association of Utah help provide financial
support.
