The beginning of spring requires a lively flourish! The Music Department proudly presented the Orchestra Extravaganza Concert in April. The theme was “East Meets South” as the concert featured famous pieces from China and Colombia, featuring Upper School Orchestra, StringJam, StageBand, Middle School Orchestra, StageBand, Strings, & Percussion, and Lower School Orchestra & Band. D-E Concerto Competition Winners Oriana Huang ’26 and Matthew Zhu ’25 also performed. Finally, we were honored to have Latin Grammy winner, saxophonist Harlinson Lozano, play with our ensembles. “El Pescador” was a highlight of the show, demonstrating the music talents and finesse of D-E musicians. Congratulations on a fantastic concert by all our orchestral musicians!
