BRAVO and what a wonderful Orchestra Extravaganza from D-E’s Performing Arts Department! CHEERS to all our winds, percussion, and strings ensemble musicians who performed an incredible concert in Schenck Auditorium! This annual concert showcased all of D-E’s division ensembles ranging from our Lower School Band and the Middle School Orchestra to the Upper School StringJam and Orchestra ensembles. Of special note were the stirring, stunning solo performances by two of this year’s Concerto Competition winners:  Quincy Eby ‘24 (viola) performed Carl Maria Von Weber’s “Andante e Rondo Ungarese” and Micha Chan ‘27 (cello) performed “Variations on a Rococo Theme” by Tchaikovsky. Thank you to Quincy, Micah, ALL our student musicians, our ensemble directors, and D-E’s Tech Crew,  for a truly memorable live performing arts event!
