ABOUT
Directed by multi-Grammy nominated musician Bobby Sanabria, this student orchestra will be made up of high-level High School music students from the NYC area with an emphasis on Bronx based players.
- Acceptance to the ensemble will be by audition.
- Students must have their own instruments.
- The students will meet once a week for 2-3 hours on Sunday’s during the school semester.
- At the end of each semester there will be a concert at the BRONX MUSIC HALL’S main theater open to the public.
- All students will receive a full scholarship to attend and receive free tickets to BMH programs.
The students will explore the rich canon of this New York City born art form that employs Afro-Cuban rhythms through established historical repertoire as well as exploring other styles (funk, rock, etc.) and new works representing other regions of Latin America other than Cuba, like Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Colombia, including Brazil and beyond. The students will also learn the rich history of the art form as well via listening sessions.
REQUIREMENTS:
The orchestra is open to all NYC students. Students who are proficient and live in the surrounding tri-state area and can commute are open to audition as well. High level reading, performance skills, and maturity will be a priority. If a student is a pre-high school student but has an extremely high skill level on their instrument, admittance to the orchestra is possible at the discretion of Mr. Sanabria.
