7:30 PM Gala Concert

At 6:30pm in the lobby of the Performing Arts Center, the CYSO’s Jazz Orchestra will serenade the audience with a selection of both jazz and pop standards, that are sure to keep your feet tapping. Jazz is one of the great American art forms, which celebrates freedom of expression through the means of improvising.

The 7:30pm performance features CYSO’s Senior Flute Ensemble and the Symphony Orchestra, which are the most advanced ensembles. During this performance, student musicians have the opportunity to perform alongside some of the most talented performers and soloists on the international stage.

“These opportunities are unique and leaves our students with a lasting impression that inspires them to push their boundaries and strive to reach even higher,” said Julien Benichou, Music Director and Conductor of CYSO’s Symphony Orchestra. “All of our ensembles, led by some of the best pedagogues, amaze me with their talent and enthusiasm.”

CYSO 30th ANNIVERSARY GALA CONCERT & SILENT AUCTION
Mar

1:00 PM13:00

CYSO 30th ANNIVERSARY GALA CONCERT & SILENT AUCTION

  • St Johns College Key Auditorium (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Afternoon Gala

1:00 P.M. SILENT AUCTION / 2:00 P.M. CONCERT

Our afternoon performance features five of our marvelous ensembles--the Junior Flute Ensemble, Wind Ensemble, and Preparatory, String, and Concert Orchestras--each taking the stage to perform several of their favorite selections.

Evening Gala

6:30 P.M. SILENT AUCTION / 7:30 P.M. CONCERT

Our evening performance offers a unique combination of flute choir, jazz, and classical music, reflecting the diversity of music ensembles that we offer.  The evening begins with an ensemble made up entirely of flutes, our Senior Flute Ensemble. We are later joined by well-known guest artists to perform with our Symphony Orchestra and our Jazz Ensemble. Virgil Boutellis-Taft, hailed by critics as intense, brilliant, sumptuous sonority, with impressive virtuosity will be performing Tchaikovskys Sérénade mélancolique and Saint-Saëns Danse Macabre with our Symphony Orchestra. He is coming hot off a recording stint with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London, and appearing with the Berlin Philharmonic in April. Our evening concert also features the talented trumpeter, Graham Breedlove, who comes from Louisiana jazz country and is a member of the United States Army Blues Big Band.  He will be performing with our Jazz Ensemble and Symphony Orchestra in a rousing medley tribute to the great Louis Armstrong.

Tickets

CYSO 30th Anniversary Gala Tickets $45 online through March 15th and $55 at the door.
Tickets provide entrance to both concerts.

Raffle

This year's raffle is an adventure-filled 7-day Harry Potter getaway to England.

The lucky winner and guest will enjoy luxury hotel accommodations with a full English breakfast every morning and a 5-day car rental. The week will be filled with Harry Potter walking tours in London, Oxford, and Edinburgh; a London studio visit; visits to Hardwick Hall and Alnwick Castle; plus a North Yorkshire Moors Railway trip.

$5 raffle tickets can be purchased at the Gala and, if preferred, the winner can choose an Apple Smart Watch in place of the trip. The drawing takes place after the evening intermission and ticket holders do not need to be present to win.
