Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orchestra November 2013
Our family friend, Izzy A., performed this afternoon as part of the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orchestra's presentation of Romeo and Juliet. The program consisted of:
Carnival Overture (Antonin Dvorak), directed by Lawrence Loh
Danzas del Ballet "Estancia" (Alberto Ginastera), directed by Fawzi Haimor, guest conductor
(Eight) selections from Romeo & Juliet (Sergei Prokofiev), arranged and directed by Lawrence Loh
Dad, Mom, Alva, and I travelled and met her family at Heinz Hall. Alva was in the first PYSO, which also travelled to Europe in 1947, soon after the end of World War II.
The choice of musical pieces was strong and dramatic, showcasing the talent in the group.
We took photos of ourselves with Izzy, and made certain that she knew that Alva was one of the first members of the PYSO.
