On January 7, 2012 the Uptown Music Collective and the Williamsport Symphony Youth Orchestra will team up once again to present the Orchestral Rock Project II. The concert will take place at 7:30pm at the Community Arts Center in Williamsport and feature highlights from last year’s performance, alongside new arrangements of classics from Fiona Apple, Pink Floyd, Regina Spektor and Metallica.
A year ago, students from the Uptown Music Collective
and the Williamsport Symphony Youth Orchestra took the stage together
for the first time to present the Orchestral Rock Project. That highly
successful performance, funded through a grant from the
Williamsport-Lycoming Community Foundation, featured the orchestra and
rock groups from the Collective powering their way through orchestral
rock classics like the Moody Blue's I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll
Band and The Beatles Strawberry Fields Forever. It also forged an
enduring relationship between the two youth centered organizations that
has culminated in a retreat/concert together this past summer, as well
as this upcoming concert.
The Orchestral Rock Project II is sponsored by sponsored by Jersey Shore State Bank, Don & Shelly Fuller, Turn Key Electric, and Pete and Linda Schultz. Media sponsor for this event is Backyard Broadcasting.
