Hochstein’s Youth Wind Symphony features wind, percussion, and brass players in grades 9–12. The ensemble meets for five weeks in January and February to prepare music for this free concert.

Musicians from the Hochstein Youth Symphony Orchestra (HYSO), directed by Casey Springstead, and Hochstein Philharmonia Orchestra (HPO), directed by John Fetter and Matt Osika, perform a joint concert.

In the first half of the concert, HPO performs Sibelius’ popular Karelia Overture, one of Dvořák’s lively Slavonic Dances, and selections from Klaus Badelt’s swashbuckling score to the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. Then, the HYSO takes the stage to perform Von Weber’s Overture to the romantic opera Oberon, These Worlds in Us by Grammy-nominated composer Missy Mazzoli, and selections from John Williams’ Suite from Star Wars.

The concert also features two winners of the HYSO Concerto Competition. Violinist Joshua Lin performs the first movement of Lalo’s fiery Symphonie Español and percussionist Gabriel Kulick performs the third movement of Séjourné’s Concerto for Marimba and Strings.

The HYSO is an advanced youth orchestra comprised of grade 7-12 students from across the Rochester region. Hochstein Philharmonia Orchestra (grades 6-11) is the first full orchestral (winds/brass/strings/percussion) experience students receive at Hochstein. This concert will be sign interpreted.

This concert will be livestreamed on YouTube at: https://youtube.com/live/zH1Gf_2GfiA.

Regarded as a method of teaching very young children how to play an instrument, the Suzuki approach carries students from simple folk tunes to complex pieces of the standard professional repertoire. Hochstein Suzuki faculty will present some of these beloved pieces that our young students play and live with for years in a “grown-up” approach. It will be a concert for all ages and tastes!

Admission at the door is $10 per person, with a $20 family maximum. Concerts are free to Hochstein students/families, faculty, and staff. The concert lasts about an hour, and is followed by a “meet the artists” reception.
