Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra

One Cape, One Symphony

One Cape, One Symphony
Each year, all Cape Cod middle and high schools are given the opportunity to have their students participate in this informative program. If interest is sufficient, the CCSO Education Department purchases band or high school orchestrations of a work being performed by the CCSO at the November Classics concert and distributes them free of charge to participating schools.

Beginning in September, the music directors rehearse the work, and students typically perform it at their fall or winter school concert. Then the participating students are invited to attend the November CCSO Classics concert (at a greatly reduced ticket price), as well as a post-concert pizza party with CCSO musicians and the guest artist.

Artist in Residence
As part of the above program, a nationally renowned musician (typically the CCSO conductor or the featured soloist for the November concert) visits each participating school and works with the middle and/or high school ensembles on the piece being played at the November concert.

One Cape One Symphony/Artist-in-Residence November 2008
The piece available to schools this year is Smetena’s Moldau from Ma Vlast (My Country).  The 2008 Artist-in-Residence, CCSO Conductor Jung-Ho Pak, will visit participating schools during the week of October 23rd. 

Schools wishing to participate should contact George Scharr, Education Director, at gscharr@capesymphony.org on or before September 19, 2008 in order to obtain the music for their orchestras/ensembles and to schedule an Artist-in-Residence visit.

Deadline for requesting student tickets for the November concerts is October 17, 2008 – all student tickets are $10 for these concerts.
