EYS with Mark Wood and Bridgid Bibbens

Description
What do the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, the Brecksville-Broadview Heights School District, and March 7th have in common? The answer is: a super-hot music education program called, “Electrify Your Strings”, which will take the stage in early March featuring nearly 250 kids rocking out with violin in hand. In a district where athletics traditionally take center stage, the tables have turned to shine the spotlight on the arts. “We really appreciate the support the district has provided to help bring this program to life. By doing so, they are giving our kids the pat on the back they’ve earned as musicians,” said Jennifer O’Neal, MS Orchestra director. 

“Electrify Your Strings” was created by Grammy award-winning musician, Mark Wood, a founding member of the internationally acclaimed Trans-Siberian Orchestra. That same style of revved up music will be taught in a supercharged 2-day workshop to the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Middle and High School orchestra students. The instruction by Wood and EYS team member, Bridgid Bibbens, will culminate into an intensely “electrifying” rock concert, open to the community. As a gift to the school, Royalton Music will be donating a 4-string Electric Stingray Violin, designed by Mark Wood, which will be raffled off that very evening. 

The Middle School will perform the first of the two concerts on March 7th at 6pm, and the High School orchestra students perform the second show on that same evening, at 8pm. Tickets are $15 for one performance or $25 for both. 

Raffle tickets can be purchased at the event for $3 each or 4 for $10.  This event is expected to sell out.
