SMA Ensemble Performs at the Ohio Theater

On June 2, 2006 members from the SMA ensemble traveled to the Ohio Theater in Columbus for an exciting evening. As part of Columbus Symphony Orchestra’s program “Young Musician’s Showcase,” they performed in the lobby as patrons arrived for a CSO concert. After our ensemble played, they attended the concert for free and were treated to a backstage tour during intermission. Our thanks go to Mary Farrington, SMA instructor and CSO member, for arranging this fun evening.

Former SMA student Andrea Gingerich played in the orchestra for two years and says that it was a very rewarding experience for her. Andrew, who plays viola, and Carrie, who plays violin, are looking forward to this opportunity.
