The Festival Youth Orchestra’s Holiday Concert is this coming Sunday at 4 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church, located at the intersection of Fourth Avenue and Alder Street in Sandpoint.
Local youth from diverse backgrounds come together to create beautiful string orchestra music at this annual musical event.
The Festival at Sandpoint has sponsored this youth orchestra for ten years as part of their educational mission. They have partnered with Lake Pend Oreille School District to provide an opportunity for local string students to enhance their musical skills and expression through rehearsals, coaching and performances, free of charge.
Students also have the opportunity to develop life skills such as leadership, responsibility, communication and discipline. Beginning, intermediate and advanced orchestras create a community playing challenging yet attainable music.
The Festival Youth Orchestra Holiday Concert is a time to celebrate young musicians and their ongoing dedication to beauty and artistic creativity. Come support these local students in their musical journey and enjoy an afternoon of beautiful music at Festival Presbyterian Church, Dec. 16 at 4 p.m.
Admission is free and open to the public and light refreshments will follow the concert.
