In January, we welcomed Andrea Paulet as GTCYS’ new Communications Manager. Andrea graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a B.A. in Communication Arts and worked in broadcast television for nearly a decade. Since then, Andrea has worked in nonprofit marketing and communications for a local social services organization and most recently a Montessori school. Andrea played violin starting in elementary school and continued at Mounds View High School and in UW-Madison’s All-University String Orchestra. She is excited to continue working with the arts and greatly enjoys having music as part of her life once again!

Attendees at the Sinfonia East and Philharmonic co

Attendees at the Sinfonia East and Philharmonic concert in Mahtomedi this past Sunday enjoyed a special collaboration when Sinfonia East sat side-by-side playing along with Philharmonic musicians for a joint performance of Medieval Legend. Sinfonia East conductor Brian Larson and Philharmonic conductor Hisham Bravo Groover showcased each orchestra’s talents through a captivating program that included several exciting works including Sea of Stars by Liam Ramsey-White and D’un matin de printemps (Of a Spring Morning) by Lili Boulanger.

Jack Reynertson skillfully conducted the Concert O

Jack Reynertson skillfully conducted the Concert Orchestra musicians during Saturday’s performance in Hopkins. The program included a beautiful work entitled Blue Doors, by local composer Alexandra T. Bryant revised specifically for Concert Orchestra in 2015. Dr. Bryant visited rehearsal last week to provide feedback and answer questions from the students, and spoke to the audience about the piece at the concert.
