Strike up the band: Young musicians of InterSchool Orchestra’s Symphony perform

The InterSchool Orchestra’s Symphony will perform on April 5 at Congregation Beth Elohim.

The orchestra, founded in 1972 and incorporated in 1974, began with a single group of 20 children. Today, it serves more than 350 children in eight major ensembles, creating opportunities for students in New York City to make music together through seven orchestras and a symphonic band.

The symphony’s musicians will perform works by Mahler, Verdi, and Bernstein. Joining in this concert will be tenor Cantor Joshua Breitzer and mezzo soprano Donna Breitzer, who will be performing selections from “West Side Story.”

InterSchool Orchestra’s Symphony concert on April 5 at 7 pm. Free.

Congregation Beth Elohim (274 Garfield Pl. in Park Slope, isorch.org).
