On October 9th, the Clawson Middle School and High School String Orchestra presented a concert with The Moxie Strings - an electrifying combination of fiddler Diana Ladio and electric cellist Alison Lynn.
The Moxie Strings held clinics with the Middle School and High School Orchestras on the day of the concert. Students memorized the music and had an opportunity to improvise for the evening performance.
Concert goers enjoyed an evening of feel-good melodies and foot-stomping, rock-influenced rhythms. The ensemble calls on Bluegrass, Celtic, Rock, Jazz and Old Time influences to create their unique, American hybrid style of music. Both Ladio and Lynn use a variety of audio effects pedals and Lynn performed on a newly invented, electric cello.
