Youth Symphony Violin Section
This Concert will be Dr. Fiske’s last as Music Director of the Shasta Youth Symphony. In honor of his retirement and many years of teaching at Shasta College he has named the final concert: “Fiske’s Final Filharmonic Fillip: A Rite of Spring.” The concert will be on Sunday, April 10, 2016, at 3:15 P.M. in the Shasta College Theatre and will feature many unforgettable pieces and items of interest.
Not to be missed will be a short piece called Chop-Stix, featuring piano soloist Dr. Joe Wyse, Superintendent/President of Shasta College. Warning: There will be a few stylistic surprises in this work. By contrast, another soloist will be fifth grader Derrick Giuntini, violinist, playing Czardas, by Monti accompanied by Strings. Hear this early starter play!
The rest of this concert will include a great variety of pieces, ranging from the opening work, Overture to the “Royal Fireworks Music”, by Handel, the Overture to the “Abduction from the Seraglio”, by Mozart, the Overture to the “Beautiful Galthea”, by von Suppe, A Pirate’s Legend, by Soon Hee Newbold, España Cañi, by Pascual Marquina Narro, and Espirit, by Shirl Jae Atwell. Two shorter works by Archangelo Corelli, Eric Satie, and Doris Gazda and, for the clincher of a finale, Strings, More Strings and Percussion will play Peter Ilytch Tschaikovsky’s 1812 Overture.
All former students of the Youth Symphony and all members of the Shasta Symphony are invited to this light and celebratory concert under Dr. Fiske.
