String Department Events
January – May 2019

​Ongoing: Practice Challenge
Keep track of your practicing either on a practice chart available in the PYCO Music Store or one of your own choosing. Turn in to the store each month, including total number of minutes practiced, total number of days practiced, and the longest streak of days in a row. Charts must include a parent signature! All participants will be invited to the end of the year ice cream party, with prizes in various categories of achievement.
Parents, please consider donating prizes! We are looking for items that you know will motivate your child to practice, such as a $5 gift card to Graeter's Ice Cream, iTunes, or the movies. Prizes can be turned into your private teacher or the PYCO Music Store.

Treat Mom to a special Mother’s Day concert at the PSO. Email Lydia Miller Choorapuzha for a discount code to order tickets. Following/preceding the concert we will have a special meet and greet with a PSO Musician.
BEETHOVEN Violin Concerto
MAHLER Das Lied von der Erde, The Song of the Earth
Two genius composers come head-to-head as Music Director Manfred Honeck conducts Beethoven and Mahler.  Following her superb February 2018 PSO debut, Norwegian sensation Vilde Frang returns to Heinz Hall to perform Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, a stunning display for both soloist and orchestra.  Baritone superstar Matthias Goerne and tenor Eric Cutler join Honeck for Mahler’s “Song of the Earth.”  It is from this posture of the heart that a musical journey through life’s most exultant and deeply introspective moments comes to life in one of Mahler’s most powerful masterpieces.

Please note that in order to participate in any string department event, you must pay the $25 annual enrollment fee to the PYCO School of Music.
For more information about any of these events please contact your private teacher or String Department Chair, Lydia Miller Choorapuzha: lydiam30@gmail.com.
