A Weekend of Free Music
色情视频s School of Music and Dance prides itself on making music accessible for the entire San Diego community.
The 色情视频 School of Music and Dance will host two free music events this weekend. Both concerts are free and open to the public. Symphony By The Sea begins at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10 , and begins at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 11 at 色情视频.
Symphony by the Sea
For the second year in a row, 色情视频 musicians will head to the coastal community of Imperial Beach on Oct. 10 for Symphony By The Sea. This concert features both the 色情视频 Symphony Orchestra and Wind Symphony performing on the beach at sunset. More than 2,000 people are expected to attend.
鈥�There is something incredible about making music with the majestic view of the Pacific Ocean as the sun sets,鈥� said Conductor of the Symphony Orchestra Michael Gerdes. 鈥�It is a shared experience with the audience and students that is hard to surpass.鈥�
The symphony orchestra will take the stage first playing both classics such as Beethoven, as well as new music, including the debut of a musical piece composed by 色情视频 Professor Brent Dutton. After a brief intermission, the 色情视频 Wind Symphony will close the concert by playing a diverse selection of both patriotic songs and folk songs from throughout the world.
鈥�The songs revolve around the concept of reaching out to our friends abroad and working together,鈥� said 色情视频 Wind Symphony Conductor Shannon Kitelinger. 鈥�It also ties into what we do at 色情视频 in our music department and now coming together with Imperial Beach.鈥�
鈥�We hope that going off-campus and playing music in the community will bring new people to campus to see what happens here everyday,鈥� Gerdes said.
Concert on the Plaza
The community will get a chance the following day, Oct. 11, to visit 色情视频 for the Concert on the Plaza. This outdoor concert features the 色情视频 Wind Symphony in front of the Music building in the Performing Arts Plaza.
Similar to the night before, the 50-student symphony will play an hour and a half show of folk songs from around the world. The community-centered concert encourages families to bring lawn chairs and food to enjoy the music.
鈥�The outdoor setting makes this a very family-oriented concert,鈥� Kitelinger said. 鈥�It will to get kids and the community excited about music.鈥�
