Performing with the Juneau Student Symphony

JAMM partners with the Juneau Student Symphony and performed two concerts dedicate to Music in the Movies.  One was held at the Juneau Arts and Culture Center and the other in the Glacier Valley gym.  Third graders performed Rigoletto, Ode to Joy, and Shortnin' Bread alongside this multi-generational community orchestra.  As audience members, our young musicians were inspired byt the orchestra's performances of Star Wars, Star Trek and Jurassic Park and piano soloist, Kyle Farley-Robinson.  In preparation for the concert, the Thunder Mountain High School Orchestra visited Glacier Valley and performed for us.  Thank you, Tyree Pini and the Juneau Symphony, for continuing this wonderful partnership with JAMM!
