10/29/24: Spookfest Concert

Congrats to Langley Orchestra for a great concert! Langley Orchestra presented its Spookfest concert on Tuesday the 29thth featuring a wide variety of spooky and Halloween-esque music.

Below is a downloadable pdf of the concert program. Thanks to our talented student artists who helped with the covers!

A video recording of the concert was sent to the Langley Orchestra family by email. The concert album can be found here

Prior to the concert, orchestra students and guests enjoyed showing off their various Halloween costumes at the pre-concert reception in Langley Hall. Big shoutout to those who sported their creative Halloween costumes!

The concert also featured senior cellists Amiliya Smith and Edward Park performing Vivaldi’s iconic cello duet: Concerto in g-minor.

Thank you to the LOS members and parent volunteers for organizing the pre-concert meal program! The pre-concert meal program allows concert days to be as hassle free as possible.  A special thanks to Mr. Kaufman and his students techs that supplied the animations for complementing the orchestra performance! Finally, a big thank you to all student, teacher, and parent volunteers who supported the Langley Orchestra for this event!
