From Here to Carnegie Hall!
The Siskiyou Violins have been invited to the New York International Music Festival in March of 2012! Our musicians will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play in Carnegie Hall as participants in this festival. We want every motivated and talented member of our group to be able to attend, regardless of their means. Your tax-deductible contribution will help us make this happen! Please join our Donor's Club in service of supporting these remarkable young musicians!
Who We Are:
Siskiyou Violins is a group of exceptionally talented young violin students from southern Oregon and northern California. Originally born from a handful of advanced violin students of local instructor Faina Podolnaya who would occasionally perform ensemble pieces at student recitals, the group has grown to become an independent organization pursuing nonprofit status in 2009. Currently we have both an Advanced Ensemble and Juniors Ensemble totaling over 60 students who range from as young as 3 years old through college age.
Our Mission Statement:"We enable talented young students to pursue their passion for the violin through inspired teaching, high expectations, self-discipline, and appreciative recognition. We provide opportunities to perform in concerts in Southern Oregon and beyond, and in competitive festivals globally. We seek opportunities to perform in school settings to motivate students - and parents - into engaging in musical training. We encourage public investments in school-based music and arts education for all students. We support other music and arts groups in Southern Oregon."
2011 Update:
During the past year, top members of Siskiyou Violins - while still in high school - performed with the Rogue Valley Symphony Orchestra, Rogue Opera, Youth Symphony of Southern Oregon, and Camelot Theatre. This December, the ensemble will perform with the Southern Oregon Repertory Singers in their annual Christmas Concert series.
