On Tuesday, December 7th, Dr. Scott McCormick and the Langley Orchestra presented its Russian Winter Dreams concert. Prior to the concert, students dined on potato and beef pirozhkis and enjoyed Russian-themed treats in Langley Hall. Highlights of the concert included performances of music of famous Russian composers including Tchaikovksy, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Shostakovich, introductions by students taking Russian, and a reading and song by Langley’s iconic Russian teacher, Dr. Valentin Cukierman.

The concert recording link has been shared with orchestra families via e-newsletter and will also be made available in Schoology. Please note that only the first hour of the video can be streamed directly from the Dropbox account; to play the entire video including the “Mad Russian Christmas” performance, please be sure to download the file first. The concert program can be downloaded below.

For a fabulous write-up about the concert, please see this week’s Connection Newspapers for an article written by senior Philharmonic violinist Erika Li. Full versions of this week’s Connection Newspapers are linked: McLean and Great Falls.

Photos of the concert can be viewed at langleyorchestra.shutterfly.com. We would appreciate any photos you would be willing to upload to the site to share with our orchestra family!

Congratulations to Doc and all three orchestras for great performances Tuesday evening at our Heroes concert! After rehearsals, students who opted into the preconcert dinner enjoyed “heroes” and time mingling with friends. Thanks to Hospitality Co-Chairs Amy Prewett & Nina Chee, and to all the volunteers who donated their time and food. For those who missed it this week, be sure to get your Krispy Kreme donuts on the next concert day starting at 3:25 pm in Langley Hall as our Donuts Fundraising Chair Laura Cian sold out of donuts quickly. Our Coffee Fundraising Chair Calli Harris also sold out of coffee and will be taking coffee pre-orders soon for delivery at our next concert.

The Heroes concert video will be made available to our orchestra students and families early next week via a link in Schoology and our e-newsletter. In the meantime, enjoy photos taken by our amazing Concert Photographer Rania Razek and assistant photographers Mike & Jen Dzwonczyk.
