[Capdist-announce] Free NYSSSA Concert at SPAC August 18 at 2pm

[Sara Fittizzi]

The New York State Summer School of the Arts (NYSSSA) School of
Orchestral Studies will be performing in a Free Concert at SPAC on
August 18th at 2pm. SPAC has indicated that attendees of the NYSSSA
Performance on August 18th will receive a voucher for that evening's
performance of the Philadelphia Orchestra featuring dancers from the New
York City Ballet. This voucher will provide attendees with the
opportunity to purchase $5 lawn seats (lawn seats will be $27 that
night!) 

The NYSSSA School of Orchestral Studies is comprised of approximately
115 of New York State’s finest instrumentalists who spend four weeks at
Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs studying, rehearsing and performing
classical repertory. A unique partnership between the School and the
Philadelphia Orchestra along with the Saratoga Performing Arts Center
provides students with an opportunity to study with world-class
musicians, while living and working in a professional environment as
members of a symphony orchestra. Under the direction of Artistic
Director and Principal Conductor Luis Biava, students work side by side
with the Philadelphia Orchestra to make NYSSSA one of the most exciting
young musicians’ programs in the country. Students rehearse and perform
a repertoire that parallels that of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and
attend regular performances and rehearsals at SPAC. They are coached by
members of the Philadelphia Orchestra and perform in numerous public
concerts. The concert on SPAC’s Mainstage on August 18, 2012 will
conclude the NYSSSA Program. 

I hope you will consider supporting these remarkable students who have
taken residency in Saratoga Springs at Skidmore College for the past
month.
