The Philadelphia Youth Orchestra Music Institute has announced the inaugural concert of one of its newest programs, Prysm Strings – New Jersey.
The performance will take place at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8, at the Katz JCC in Cherry Hill. The event marks the latest chapter in Prysm Strings’ sponsorship of world-class music education and performance opportunities in the South Jersey region.
Under the leadership of former Philadelphia Orchestra associate concert master and violin soloist Michael Ludwig, Prysm Strings – New Jersey will highlight the extraordinary talents of young musicians.
“Rachael and I are so happy to be part of this program that will richly serve the youth of our community in South Jersey,” said Ludwig, referring to his wife. “Our repertoire is wide-ranging. From Vivaldi and Mozart to Beauty and the Beast and beyond, our musical selections will cross genres and cultures, celebrating beautiful music from around the world and many time periods.”
“We are proud to contribute to Prysm Strings – New Jersey’s continued growth and excited to expand our reach,” Ludwig added of the program’s 85-year legacy, “offering even more young musicians the opportunity to be part of this transformative community.”
