Students can support their fellow classmates by visiting the fall strings concert on Tuesday, Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m., featuring the freshman strings from Glenbrook North and Glenbrook South. Select members from the Glenbrook Symphony Orchestra, GSO, consisting of GBN and GBS students, will be performing as well.

Freshman strings consists of the freshman orchestra class taught by Kristin Wagner, head director of GSO, and Jason Heath, assistant director of GSO. Wagner and Heath have been working with both schools’ freshman strings. Since the beginning of the school year, they have been rehearsing several different pieces together.

According to Heath, two of the pieces the GBN orchestra will be performing include a Vivaldi string concerto and “Helium” by Richard Meyer. The two schools will be working together to perform one piece called “Mystical Towers” by Jeremy Woolstenhulme.

A few selected students from GSO will be performing more advanced pieces. The selected members will be playing in a strings quartet including juniors Harriet Han and Noelle Yoo, freshman Josiah Yoo and GBS student Isabell Uhl. One soloist from GBS will be performing as well.

“The students are working really hard…the groups have been working and polishing up their playing and it’s going to be a really outstanding couple of performances,” Heath said.

Han said that the concert should be relaxing to listen to. She believes that students should support their fellow classmates because this year they are performing a quartet instead of multiple solo pieces. By featuring a quartet and a solo, students will get to experience a wider variety of musical styles.
