South Shore Conservatory's Bay Youth Symphony to Perform Fall Concert in Marshfield

Under the guidance of Music Director Joan Landry, BaYS is an auditioned, sequential orchestra program sponsored by South Shore Conservatory in collaboration with the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra (The Phil) and Artistic Advisor Steven Karidoyanes. BaYS offers two leveled orchestras, and is open to students from communities throughout the South Shore and Cape Cod.

BaYS rehearses weekly at Marshfield High School. Auditions for the 2014-2015 BaYS season are ongoing, all orchestral student musicians are welcome to audition at any time. Students enrolled in BaYS Symphony Orchestra will be performing with the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra in the spring of 2015.

Each BaYS ensemble offers dedicated and talented young musicians the opportunity to perform symphonic music at a high level in an organized, supportive orchestra program. Both orchestras perform in this concert – Repertory, an intermediate full orchestra, conducted by Elijah Langille; as well as Symphony, an advanced orchestra conducted by BaYS Music Director, Joan Landry.

Admission to the concert is free for students K-12. Adult tickets are $10, and may be purchased at the door. Additional support for this program is provided in part by grants from the Marshfield Cultural Council and the Scituate Cultural Council.
