Event Description
OSYO Conductor Zeena Zaiyouna and the musicians of the youth orchestra are preparing for their spring concert cycle, titled “Iris,” set for May 4 and 5 in Vernon, Penticton and Kelowna.
“I am so proud of the remarkable achievements in this 35th season of the OSYO. “This youth orchestra is stoked to be performing some electrifying repertoire such Glinka’s Ruslan and Ludmilla at the upcoming concert. The players have truly bounded forward in their musical determination and development this year, bringing their best and finest efforts. I am really looking forward to our end of season concert!” says Zeena.
The title of the concert, “Iris,” resulted from a discussion between Zeena, the concerto soloists and other OSYO players. “I really value deliberating with youth to explore the various and creative aspects of putting an artistic program together,” says Zeena. Landing on the curious notion that every piece on the program vibrates at a different frequency, this exciting sentiment bloomed into ‘Iris’. Zeena later states, “I was pleased that this idea came up organically at our programming round table. I have always wanted to be a music scientist and have always been fascinated by the conversion of frequency from sound to light. I am very fortunate to lead such sound students.” The program features three student concerto performances, and the premiere of an OSYO student composition, as well as standard symphonic fare including movements from Dvorák’s Symphony No. 8.
A concerto performance is an important milestone for aspiring young performers, and competition is stiff among the members of the OSYO for this honour. Their inclusion on this program speaks to their level of desire and dedication. Tyler Funk, a grade 12 student at Mount Boucherie Secondary, will be featured in a movement of Oskar Böhme’s Trumpet Concerto in F minor. Tyler has been playing trumpet for five years and in the OSYO for four. He’ll be studying jazz at the University of Victoria next year. Zaiden Thiessen —currently principal cello in the OSYO — will perform Camille Saint-Saëns’ Allegro Appassionato for Violoncello, Op. 43. They plan to continue studying music at university this fall. Sami Overland plays baritone, alto saxophone, and tuba for the OSYO, and plays and sings in a variety of other ensembles in her school and Kelowna. She’s headed for music studies at Capilano University in September. She will perform a movement of Alexander Glazunov’s Saxophone Concerto in E-flat major.
