Hi everyone,
Happy New Year!
Last year :), really only about a month ago, I had my studio recital for my violin and piano students. Good job to all who performed-even if you were nervous you went up there and did it anyway!

Here are a few events coming up:

-Cochise County Youth Orchestra starts: Tuesday, January 12th at Cochise College.
If you know of anyone interested in playing strings with a group, please pass it on!

-Sierra Vista Symphony Winter Concert: Friday, January 15th at Buena High School, 7pm.
The theme of this concert is “Let us Dance”. We will be doing some Borodin, Dvorak, Copland, Brahms, and Tchaikovsky’s, The Sleeping Beauty. Lots of fast notes and some gorgeous melodies, too!

Our local music teacher’s association has two events coming up as well, the Stepping Stones master classes and the Inge Young Competition.

–Stepping Stones Master Classes will have their annual strings and piano classes. STRINGS: Friday, February 5th with Holly Schurr and PIANO: Saturday, February 6th with Dr. Raymond Ryder.

-Inge Young Competition: STRINGS-Friday, February 19th and PIANO-Saturday, February 20th

-Medley of Melodies 2nd annual Concert and Raffle: A fundraiser concert to benefit the Cochise County Youth Orchestra.

Have a great rest of the weekend! Sincerely, Maranatha Struse
