March 2024 Concert Program

Letter from the Board President Welcome to South Valley Symphony's NextGen Youth Concert!

This afternoon, we are honored to present a concert that celebrates the vibrancy and talent of our youth musicians while also shining a spotlight on the extraordinary abilities of our featured piano soloist, Katelyn Deng. As we gather in anticipation of a memorable performance, it's crucial to acknowledge music's profound impact on the developing brain. Through the intricate patterns of melody and harmony, young minds are enriched and empowered to navigate the complexities of the world around them. Music ignites creativity, enhances cognitive function, and cultivates the critical thinking skills necessary for success in all aspects of life. Today's concert serves as a testament to the transformative power of music. With each note played by our orchestra and each key struck by Katelyn Deng, we witness the profound influence of music on the human spirit and intellect. Together, we embark on a journey of discovery and inspiration guided by the transcendent beauty of sound. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your support of music in the South Valley community. Thank you for being a part of this unforgettable afternoon of music, and may you leave inspired by the profound impact of music on the developing mind. With warm regards, Rob Howe President, South Valley Symphony
