Our Youth Symphony I had such a moment in June, at the year-end performance of the Hochstein Youth Singers. Orchestra in concert Connections One young woman, a senior in high school, was performing with the Youth Singers for the last time. She had a solo in the song “For Good” (from Wicked), and she sang beautifully! But when she got to the line “because I knew you, I have been changed for good” (what a wonderful lyric!)—she began to cry. So did I, and so did nearly everyone in the audience. It was powerful to see how much this student’s experience—singing with others, supported and inspired by the wonderful work of her director, Maryellen Giese —meant to her. In 2012-13, through all our programs, events, and outreach, we worked together to provide opportunities for students of all ages, all levels of experience and abilities, and ϐ ǡǡ our community of musicians and dancers.
