West Coast Youth Orchestra Festival
Los Angeles, California
June 29, 2012
Featuring Festival Guest Conductor Markand Thakar
The West Coast Youth Orchestra Festival is designed to bring together outstanding youth orchestras from throughout the country to perform for one another and the community in a World Class venue on the West Coast. The location will rotate between prestigious halls such as Music Center’s Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles, CA; Davies Hall in San Francisco, CA; and Benaroya Hall in Seattle, WA.
The concept of this Festival is both performance oriented as well as educational in nature for the youth musician and the conductor. The format allows every musician and each ensemble to be featured independently; provides for select members of each orchestra to join together as a “Festival Orchestra” to rehearse and perform under the direction of a well-known Guest Conductor; and also allows collegial time for directors to participate in a workshop and Q & A with Markand Thakar, Festival Guest Conductor.

Schlesinger Concert Hall and Arts Center at Northern Virginia Community College in Alexandria, Virginia, then on the following day a massed-band performance by all the bands at the United States Air Force Memorial. Participating bands will also have the opportunity to visit Historic Congressional Cemetery to lay a wreath and possibly perform one or two pieces at the graveside of John Philip Sousa, "The March King."
