Combined Orchestra Clinic

Our middle schools had a wonderful orchestra clinic this week! The session combined the Lincoln and Emerson Philharmonic Orchestras. Mr. Dana Green from Vernon Hills High School and Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestras was the guest clinician this year.

The students did a great job, and they are excited to continue working on these pieces in preparation for

their spring concerts, tour of the grade schools, and the Music in the Parks Festival.
