Celebrating Five Years
2007-08 marks the fifth year of the Des Moines Symphony Academy's quality music education programs! In that time, the Academy has grown from 150 to 500 students. Three youth orchestras have expanded to four. Summer camps were added to school-year sessions in 2006. Students of all ages learn to pay and understand music of many eras and styles. From classics to new music, bluegrass to jazz, students explore our world through sound. The celebration will include many special performances by Academy students, faculty and guest artists. We are honored to host violinist Midori for an Orchestra Residency Program in January/February 2008. This residency will provide Academy students with opportunities to work with the renowned violinist in solo and orchestral settings. Midori will perform with Greater Des Moines Youth Symphonies as well as the Des Moines Symphony. So join us in celebrating five years! Take a class, come to a concert or just stop by the Temple for Performing Arts. We look forward to many more years of music.
