The members of the Mira Costa Orchestra Program were, of course, overjoyed when they learned last Fall that their symphony orchestra was one of only 4 high school orchestras in the nation selected to perform in the People’s Republic of China this June and July, and they have been holding fundraisers over the last few months to help with the substantial costs of making sure every student who wants to participate in this amazing experience can do so. Since everyone who knows me knows how strong my Mustang pride is, I thought I would post the link to their fundraising Facebook page, which they update for boosters. Most of the fundraisers have been pretty low-key, fun events and the link will keep you updated if you want to attend any of them in the coming months.
John Crozman and Dean Marshall, co-founders of the popular professional alternative violin ensemble Barrage, extended the enthusiastic invitation to the Mira Costa Orchestra to perform in China after their well-received performance at the Walt Disney Concert Hall last June. Under the program name of League of Astonishing Strings, Crozman and Marshall lead a group of educators, composers and promoters whose goal is to envision, create and produce innovative string music events and projects, and it is a huge honor for them to invite Mira Costa to participate in this trip.

During their trip, Mira Costa Orchestra members will be taking the stage at several world-class venues, including the Hangzhou Grand Theatre (the amazing concert hall pictured above), the Xuzhou Concert Hall, and the prestigious Shanghai Oriental Art Center. In all, the orchestra will be performing at six professional concert venues while visiting seven cities in a span of twelve days. This will be an extraordinary experience for the kids and I congratulate them for their hard work and exceptional talent!
