SIDE BY SIDE

GRADES 6-ADULT • WATERBURY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

ASAP!’s annual Side By Side concert is a rare opportunity for youth musicians to perform side by side with Waterbury Symphony Orchestra (WSO) members in front of a live audience. Side By Side is the culmination of our Interdistrict Strings Program, a music intensive which pairs experienced youth musicians with professional WSO members to learn classical pieces, gain a deeper understanding of their instrument, and practice playing in concert with one another.
