Winter Concert: KAPITAN (Dec 9, 2025)
On Tuesday December 9th, Dr. Scott McCormick and the Langley Orchestra presented a Russian themed concert to honor Val Cukierman and the incredible legacy he has created at Langley. The audience experienced an evening of poems, songs, and glorious music from historical symphonies to modern soundtracks. Along with guest band members, the concert opened with “Festive Overture” by Shostakovich. Then, accompanied by the Philharmonic Orchestra, Luca Gozzi played “Piano Concerto No. 2” by Rachmaninoff, a famous classical work.
Next, the Concert Orchestra played Themes from Romeo & Juliet by Tchaikovsky and Five Ukrainians in a Bell Tower by Leontovych. Last, the Symphonic Orchestra finished off with Rasputin, a popular song on Just Dance, and a Mad Russian’s Christmas, which featured Tchaikovsky’s “Trepak” (Russian Dance) from The Nutcracker.
Thank you to Kaptian for sharing his passion for Russian language arts and culture with generations of students at Langley. We appreciate everyone who came to celebrate and enjoy the music!

Fall Concert: Strings & Wings (Oct 14, 2025)
Congratulations to the Langley Orchestra for a successful Strings and Wings concert on Tuesday, October 14th! Orchestra students and guests enjoyed snacks and beverages in Langley Hall before taking flight into a magical realm of music.
The concert featured Langley’s three orchestras: Concert, Symphonic, and Philharmonic. All three orchestras performed pieces in line with the bird theme, including the theme song from Angry Birds, a piano duet, and classical masterpieces such as Swan Lake and Vivaldi’s Spring from the Four Seasons. Soloists Gemma Shi, Leah Pang, and Zifei Zhao played beautifully, really bringing the birds in Spring to life. Finally, the concert debuted Langley Orchestra’s very own kazoo ensemble. The kazoo soloists survived a rigorous audition process, fulfilling their lifelong dreams of becoming principal kazooists for the theme of Chicken Run.
Thank you to everyone who came to listen and support the orchestra!
