The Arlington Philharmonic Orchestra brings together instrumentalists of all ages and musical experience. Under the direction of Music Director Walter Pavasaris and Assistant Conductor James Russell Smith, the Orchestra performs in five concerts during the season, the first in November, its Family Concert in February, two concerts with the
Arlington-Belmont Chorale, and the PSA's Annual POPS! Concert in June.
The Orchestra also features the instrumental winners of our Young Artist Competition (YAC) as soloists in a wide variety of great works. This year, the 2008 YAC winner, violinist Er-gene Kahng, will perform with the Orchestra in our Sponsors' Concert.
The APO's annual Family Concert is one of the PSA's outreach activities and is presented as a fun teaching vehicle aimed at our younger concert-goers, but it is also informative to our not-so-young listeners. In the past few years the Orchestra has given concerts entitled "A Concert Brought To You By The Letter B," "Witches and Wizards," "Musical Hats" and "A Musical Journey Through the West."
This year's Family Concert is entitled, "Let's Dance!" and will feature Yuki Beppo, a twelve year old violinist who won the First Place Leonard D. Wood Award in the 2008 PSA Young Artist Competition.
Rehearsals are held every Wednesday night at 7:30 pm at The First Parish Unitarian-Universalist Church in Arlington beginning the first Wednesday after Labor Day and continuing into June. Contact the Chair of the Orchestra at orchestra@psarlington.org for more information.
For this year's programs, please refer to Our Concert Schedule.
