Westside Symphonette set for concert at Gatewood Elementary

Music program benefits Gatewood and Roxhill Elementary

Gatewood Elementary at 4320 S.W. Myrtle Street is the scene for another concert by Westside Symphonette on Tuesday, March 16, 7:30pm. The concert will benefit the Gatewood and Roxhill music programs through the $1 admission.

Founded by Toni Reineke in the Fall of 2002, local students have an opportunity to participate in a full symphony orchestra, an opportunity that does not exist in West Seattle schools.

Program Highlights:
Orchestra classics Finlandia Intermezzo from Hary Janos, Bugler's Holiday (with a twist!)
Sing Along with Sounds of Simon and Garfunkel
Special Guests; Gatewood and Roxhill advanced strings and their coaches

There are now two orchestras, senior for the more experienced musicians and junior for beginners with 45 members in all. The orchestras present two to three concerts each year. Students come from public and private schools all over the West Seattle area.

Sponsored by Gatewood and Roxhill PTA's the concert will take place in the cafeteria.
