Valley music aficionados will have a rare opportunity Sunday, Nov. 22, as the Shenandoah Valley Youth Symphony Orchestra<\/a> and the Shenandoah Valley Children\u2019s Chorus<\/a> (SVCC) perform together for just the second time.<\/p>\n

The concert is 4 p.m. in Eastern Mennonite University\u2019s Lehman Auditorium. A $7 donation is requested to benefit scholarship students in the Preparatory Music Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

SVCC’s Treble and Concert choirs, directed by Janet Hostetter<\/a>, will present a sampling of choral works from their December 2015 “Angel’s Sing” concert.\u00a0The Treble choir is comprised of students ages 9-14 with basic and intermediate knowledge. The Concert Choir is a more advanced performing choir for ages 10-18.<\/p>\n

Repertoire choices include both traditional and non-traditional Christmas carols and a Hebrew tune. Maurita Eberly and Tracey Reed will provide piano accompaniment for both choirs.<\/p>\n

The 45-member Youth Symphony, conducted by interim director Rhonda Stees, will perform the following works: \u201cRoyal Fireworks Overture\u201d by Handel, the Allegretto from \u201cSymphony No. 7\u201d by Beethoven, March to the Scaffold from \u201cSymphony Fantastique\u201d by Berlioz and \u201cSuperman Returns\u201d by John Williams.<\/p>\n

The symphony is an auditioned ensemble of high school musicians from Page, Shenandoah, Rockingham and Augusta counties, one of whom will be the featured soloist in this concert.<\/p>\n

Violinist Madeline Williamson will perform the \u201cViolin Concerto in G Major\u201d by Haydn. Madeline, daughter of Dusty and Laura Williamson of Harrisonburg, Va., has studied violin with youth symphony conductor Maria Lorcas<\/a> (currently on leave) and now studies with EMU professor Joan Griffing<\/a>. A senior home-schooled student, she takes concurrent courses at Blue Ridge Community College.<\/p>\n

Madeline has been a member of the Shenandoah Valley Youth Symphony for four years and head chorister of the Shenandoah Valley Children\u2019s Choir for two years. In addition, Madeline plays violin with the EMU Orchestra.<\/p>\n

She holds two state titles through the \u201cShare the Fun\u201d competition held at the Virginia 4-H Congress at Virginia Tech. She is co-president of the Plains 4-H Club and a member of the Rockingham County 4-H Young Leaders Association. Next year, Madeline plans to pursue a major in instrumental performance.<\/p>\n

The concert will end with the Youth Symphony and SVCC choirs performing two pieces together, an arrangement of the Shaker hymn \u201cHow Can I Keep from Singing?\u201d and Anderson\u2019s holiday favorite, \u201cSleigh Ride.\u201d<\/p>\n

SVCC\u2019s annual Christmas concert will also be at Lehman Auditorium Dec. 6 at 4 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
