Opal Music Studio Introduces a New Youth Strings Program
Open to students ages 6-17 with one year strings experience.
Alexandria, VA – Opal Music Studio has announced its first session of Opal Strings, a youth chamber ensemble introducing string players to the joys of playing together in an orchestra. Led by Opal faculty member Joan Wolfe, students will focus on playing holiday music, ending with a celebration concert in December.
Opal Strings provides young musicians with the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of performing in a group. Their progress and achievements will be showcased at casual concerts held each fall and spring. The ensemble will also have other opportunities to perform throughout the semester.
All interested string students, ages 6-17, with at least one year of playing experience may join Opal Strings (no audition required). Beginning with the first session on October 15, students will be playing holiday music in a fun, social, musical environment, culminating with a performance at Opal for friends and family on the final evening (Tuesday, December 10).
The 8-week Opal Strings session starts October 15, and meets every Tuesday from 5:00 to 6:00 pm at Opal Music Studio, 607 Prince Street, Old Town Alexandria. The cost is $250 per session, with discounts available for Opal students, multiple sibling enrollments, and military families.
