Students Impress at Winter Concerts - Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestras

It may be chilly outside, but our students are bringing the heat with fantastic Winter concerts! Congratulations to our Accelerando Strings and Philharmonic Orchestra on their wonderful performances this past week.

Accelerando Strings performed in their Community Concert on March 3 with the Amundsen High School Orchestra and Honors Chamber Ensemble. Playing to a packed house, students performed works by Richard Stephan, Carold Nunez, and Felix Mendelssohn.
