A Word to Our Friends
The Delano Chamber Players are poised to begin their ninth season with concerts of all four of our major performing groups. We begin with the Delano Wind Ensemble on September 24th featuring all Russian music with compositions by Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Tschaikowsky, and Kabalevsky. That concert is shortly followed on October 1st by the Delano Chamber Orchestra performing “Autumn from the Seasons” by Vivaldi , featuring Dr. Amber Peterson on Violin, and the ever loved Beethoven Symphony #8. The Jazz Orchestra follows on October 22nd, and the Chamber Brass on November 12th.
We welcome back all of our friends, musicians, audience members, and community followers that have made the Delano Chamber Players so popular and allowed to grow into a major force for the arts and music education in the Wichita region.
The summer season from which we just departed, was the most successful yet. Two youth orchestras and a youth wind ensemble gave ninety young musicians opportunities to perform and learn while receiving quality coaching and instruction.
Our youth outreach includes the successful and growing annual Young People’s Competition for high school seniors that provides scholarships and opportunities for solo performance with the Delano Chamber Orchestra in April of 2018.
We are grateful to West Side Baptist Church, Sensensy Music Inc., Employers Mutual Insurance Companies, our many contributors and friends that make the continuation of our performances and outreach possible. Their generous contribution of funds allows us to provide quality musical performance and teaching in an uninterrupted manner throughout the year. We invite you to help to support quality artistic endeavors in our community with your tax deductible contributions and generous concert donations.
