Suites from the Harry Potter movie soundtrack and Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet ballet will be featured in year-end concerts next week by the Coquitlam Youth Orchestra.
And the recitals by the intermediate and senior musicians will also highlight the skills of three soloists.
Linus Fong will play Goltermann’s Cello Concerto No.4 in G major (1st movement) with the senior ensemble on June 8 at 1:15 p.m. while Rannie Xiong and Esther Van Rooi will each perform a Saint-Saens work with the intermediates, for their show at 2:45 p.m.
The juniors take the stage at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) at noon to showcase the Haydn Surprise Symphony, Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 by J. S. Bach and a Harry Potter suite — the latter based on the fantasy flick, with music composed by John Williams.
Conductor Reg Quiring said the intermediate group will focus on Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro Overture as well as von Suppé’s Poet and Peasant Overture while the seniors will play movements from Romeo and Juliet and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5.
