East Liberty Community Engagement Orchestra (EL CEO)
A Youth Orchestra for Kids with a Passion for Music!
Young musicians, and their musically-inclined parents, are invited to join Hope Academy’s East Liberty Community Engagement Orchestra (EL CEO) to experience the joy of making music together in an orchestra.
Conductor Federico Garcia (Artistic Director of Alia Musica Pittsburgh) will create arrangements to suit each student’s ability. The music will be selected from the symphonic and popular repertories, ranging from pieces by Tchaikovsky to the theme from the Harry Potter movies — and everything in between. Musicians of all levels are welcome to join and participate! (Singers are encouraged to join one of our “Voices of Hope” community choirs, which meet on Wednesdays after school.)
Weekly rehearsals will take place on Saturdays from 3:00 to 4:30 pm throughout the year and will begin on September 19.
Everyone is welcome and no one is required to audition! But please register by September 12 so that we can have music ready for you. There is a $10 registration fee for each musician.
EL CEO is funded by the proceeds from the annual Pittsburgh Symphony Community Engagement Concert, being held this year on Saturday, November 14 at 7:00 pm at East Liberty Presbyterian Church.
