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 2009 YAC winner, flutist Hyun-Jung Kwon, will perform with the Orchestra in our Fall Concert in November.
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 " "Witches and Wizards," "Musical Hats" "A Musical Journey Through the West."and "Let's Dance."
This year's Family Concert is entitled, "A Musical Journey Around the World" and will feature violinist Rebecca Reale, the 2009 Young Artist Competition Leonard Wood Prize Winner.
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.
