Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra
One Cape, One Symphony

About the Program
Each year, all Cape Cod middle and high schools are given the opportunity to have their students learn a piece of music being performed that season at a Classics concert by the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra.  Entitled “One Cape, One Symphony”, choral and/or instrumental music directors may select a piece from either the November, January, April or May Classics concerts.  Directors simply choose an arrangement online or through a catalog and then request the arrangement from George Scharr, CCSO Director of Education.  CCSO MusicWorks! will purchase the arrangement and have it shipped to the school.  The piece will remain a part of the school’s permanent music library.
 
Beginning several weeks before the concert at which the piece is being performed by the CCSO, the music directors will rehearse the work with their ensembles and may integrate it into one of their upcoming school concerts.
 
As part of the above program, a coaching session may be scheduled with Maestro Jung-Ho Pak.  During the week preceding the concert, he will travel to as many of the schools as possible and work on the pieces with the directors and their ensembles. 

The program culminates with an invitation to the participating students to attend the applicable CCSO Classics concert at reduced student ticket pricing or by using complimentary tickets under the Tix4Music program, subject to availability.

Schools wishing to participate should contact George Scharr, CCSO Director of Education at gscharr@capesymphony.org  as early in the year as possible, but no less than two months prior to the concert selected in order to select and obtain the music for their orchestras/ensembles and to schedule their guest conductor’s visit.

15 middle and high school bands in 10 schools and a total of 630 students took part in One Cape, One Symphony in 2007-08.
