Tours Touring is a significant part of the music students' education. They have had multiple opportunities to present their artform across the United States and Europe and are currently entertaining invitations to China, Argentina and Vienna. Selected participants from the Tacoma Youth Symphony and Tacoma Young Artists Orchestra traveled to our nation's Capital to perform in three concerts. The National Festival of the States offered a memorable musical, cultural and educational experience to these young musicians. In 2008 all performances commemorated the 225th anniversary of the end of the American Revolution.
The students were treated to daily tours of monuments,
museums and other tourist attractions including a tour of the Capitol
arranged through our State Representatives.
Following NYC tours and exploring time, rehearsals and masterclasses with Juilliard teachers, these young musicians performed Copland's Tenderland Suite and Stravinsky's Firebird to a full house. They received an immediate standing ovation from the savvy New York audience as well as FOUR curtain calls.
