Thursday Night Live with FLC - January 7, 2021
Thursday Night Live with FLC - December 17, 2020
Santa Rosa Symphony Youth Orchesrta Virtual Concerts
Santa Rosa Symphony Youth Orchestra 2020-2021 season is underwritten by a grant from the George L. Smith, Jr. M.D. and Nancy Doyle, M.D. fund of Community Foundation Sonoma County
These performances were assembled using Acapella, an app which allows each student to record their part while listening/watching their colleagues play. There has been minimal editing of the final products. Through this process, the students are exponentially increasing their listening and ensemble playing skills.
