The Santa Clarita Philharmonic is pleased to announce the second of three concerts for their 2015-2016 season under the music direction of Jeffrey Gilbert.
The next concert on Feb. 21, 2016 will be a lighter “pops” concert.
Included in the program is the Vivaldi Concerto for 2 Trumpets featuring our own Jodi Malone and Lisa Edeleman as soloists. There will also be a performance of a medley of Abba songs and a selection of songs from the Broadway Musical “Les Miserables.”
Completing the first half will be an amusing original arrangement of animal themed songs prepared by our Composer in Residence, Mark Gasbarro.
The second half will feature former SCVTV morning show co-host, Dave Caldwell, narrating Sergei Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf.”
This a wonderful children’s story told with music and an excellent introduction to the instruments of the orchestra as each character is portrayed by a different instrument.
