Join us and selected Irving student musicians for a Sunday afternoon of enchantment and let the music weave its spell around you, transporting you to realms both magical and timeless.
The evening is woven into a tapestry of wonder and delight beginning with Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain casting its spell, summoning eerie shadows and mysterious spirits with its haunting melodies. Rossini's La Cenerentol sweeps you away on a fairytale journey, where dreams come true and love conquers all in a whirlwind of sparkling melodies. Weber's Freischutz Overture beckons with its bewitching charm, inviting you to venture into the enchanted forest where secrets lurk behind every tree. And finally, Bizet's L'Arlesienne Suite No. 2 enchants with its vibrant colors and passionate rhythms, painting a vivid portrait of love, longing and destiny.
Included in the performance is our 2024 concerto competition winner, Cesia Quinonez (Nimitz H.S.), playing Massenet's Meditation from Thais transporting you to a realm of serene beauty, where time seems to stand still amid the delicate strains of her violin.

A dedicated violinist and proud 11th grade student at Irving's Nimitz High School, Ariana was born into a musical family who enjoyed and
performed mariachi and inspired her own love of music. She wanted to master all the instruments: guitar, bass guitar, double bass, violin!
Today, with 6 years' experience in playing the violin, this young artist is honored as the winner of our 2025 Richard Giangiulio Concerto Competition, receiving a $1,000 prize funded in part by an endowment honoring Betty Miller, a founding member of this orchestra.
Her talent and dedication have earned her a seat in the All-Region Orchestras for three years and All-City orchestras for four. This year she also won first place in the Lone Star Youth Orchestra competition.
She explains that to her, orchestra is more than a school activity, it's
a way to express herself "beyond words." Music has shaped her identity, she says, and will always remain an important part of her life.
