Northwest Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Michael Holian
Director
The Northwest Chicago Symphony is starting its new season
with some exciting music. All Wright
students and faculty are invited to join in the great music making. If you play
a musical instrument and would like to participate, call the VPA office (773) 481-8864 or stop in E204. You can
also email professor Mehmeti at imehmeti@ccc.edu or Music Director Michael Holian at miholian@aol.com. Join in the excitement.
The Northwest Chicago Symphony was
formed and exists so that students of
Wilbur Wright College, our faculty and our community may experience the shared joy
of listening to and performing orchestral music. The collective talents of
musical geniuses such as Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and many others are
brought to life seven times a year so that the students can make a connection
between what they hear in the classroom and the reality of a live performance. They
witness what is arguably one of the most intense and passionate co-operation
between a group of people; the art of
making music.
Our own students prompted the formation
of the NCSO; they wanted a place to play after they graduated. By forming the NCSO two things happened that
benefited our students. We gave those
who had spent years developing their talent for music a place to continue their
acquired education. Moreover, with the
addition of a stable body of local musicians, many of them our former students and
presently teachers, we had a complete and stable symphony orchestra. And why not: “a great country deserves great
art”, and a good school benefits from great art.
