New information for Spring 2012!
Program Overview
In order to provide local music students the opportunity to experience playing in a full orchestra ensemble, the NSO partners with the Salem Youth Symphony’s Philharmonic Orchestra (SYSPO). SYSPO is conducted by Jon Harris-Clippinger. Local students are invited to become guest-members of SYSPO for two spring performances at the Newport Performing Arts Center.
This program includes two rehearsals for local students with Mr. Harris-Clippinger, a trip to Salem to rehearse with SYSPO, a dress rehearsal with OPAYCO members, a daytime performance for Lincoln County students, and an evening public performance. Intermediate and advanced students are invited to apply to participate.
