Roosevelt Highschool Symphony Orchestra To Perform With Seattle Symphony Tonight

The Roosevelt Symphony Orchestra will be performing a free, side-by- side concert with the Seattle Symphony tonight from 7:30-8:30pm at Roosevelt High School.

Roosevelt is the reference high school for Laurelhurst. And the concertmaster of the Roosevelt Symphony is a Laurelhurst resident, Andrea, RHS orchestra booster chairperson told us.

Roosevelt High School Orchestra members and Seattle Symphony musicians will perform together on the stage during Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7  in A major, Op. 92. 

Other pieces included in the performance will be Tchaikovsky: Allegro con spirit from Souvenir de Florence performed solely by the Roosevelt Orchestra, and Weber's Overture to Der Freischütz performed by the Seattle Symphony only.

The performance provides an opportunity for student musicians to play with and learn from professional musicians.

This free concert, and two upcoming others at other locations, are presented as part of the Seattle Symphony’s Family, School & Community Programs,  and provide an opportunity for student musicians to play with and learn from professional musicians.

 “Music is for everybody, and we love the opportunity to take our great orchestra out of Benaroya Hall, and into schools, community centers and public spaces to share the joy of music. This is just one strand of our ever-increasing commitment to communities, families and young people," Executive Director Simon Wood said.
