The Coastside Community Orchestra, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, with a concert Saturday May 3rd at 8 p.m. at the Community United Methodist Church in Half Moon Bay.  The orchestra will open with Tchaikovsky’s Marche Slav.  Then Montara Virtuoso Charles Calvert will play Boccherini’s cello concerto in Bb major.  After intermission the concert closes with Schubert’s symphony No. 8 the “Unfinished.” As part of the 25th anniversary celebration orchestra alumni are invited to attend the concert free of charge.

After intermission the orchestra will present three scholarships to local music students to encourage their continued musical education.  Marya Dzmitrak (age 16) of Pacifica earned a scholarship this year to continue her piano training with Lisa Spector.  Quinn Sommer (age 12) won a scholarship to help him buy a new bow for his violin.  Christian Arella ( age 15) who plays alto horn and trumpet and has been teaching himself to play the guitar, earned a scholarship to take private music lessons.

The Coastside Community Orchestra began in the spring of 1983 when a small group of musicians got together to found a nonprofessional community orchestra.  What began with ten people has grown over the years to roughly 40 musicians.  Mr. Kay Raney conducted the orchestra for 17 of those 25 years and did a lot to build its membership and repertoire.  Recuperating from surgery, he will attend the May concert and Guest Conductor Bill Coye will lead the group.

My travel budget isn’t unlimited, but I’m sure that we could
