Sarasota Youth Orchestras: Side-by-Side Concert

Students in the Youth Philharmonic, the most advanced of the eight Sarasota Youth Orchestras ensembles, take the stage alongside the professionals of Sarasota Orchestra for this side-by-side concert at Riverview High School. Stuart Malina conducts: music director of the Harrisburg Symphony, for a decade principal guest conductor of The Florida Orchestra, and a Tony winner, alongside Billy Joel, for the orchestrations of Movin' Out. Youth orchestra alumni describe the concert as a high point of their training, and the orchestra credits it with steering many young players toward careers in music.
