The concerts will be the culmination of SACO/TTYP’s 8th annual music workshop where approximately 200 students ages 4-24 are being tutored for three weeks of 90 contact hours by a team of thirteen Venezuelan string, wind, and brass specialists, led by Mr. Hemath Jahoor (FESNOJIV, Venezuela) and Mr. Kenneth Listhrop. The repertoire includes performances of some of Beethoven’s timeless works performed by TTYP’s Junior/Intermediate Orchestra, arranged and conducted by young Asst. Music Directors Sameer Alladin and Tracell Frederick, and the Advance Orchestra performing the feature work Symphony No. 5 in C Minor Op. 67 and the 2nd Movement of the 7th Symphony under the baton of Conductor & Music Director Kenneth Listhrop. In honour of our twin islands’ 50th Independence Anniversary, this special celebration will include the performance of the only full symphonic local arrangement of the National Anthem, approximately 200 students performing the celebrative and triumphant “Hymn to Joy”, and local vintage nation building calypsos arranged for full orchestra and choir. SACO/TTYP’s school and community programmes continue to embrace St. Georges College, Barataria, and the Bishop Anstey High School East/Trinity College East (BATCE) where several students have been awarded scholarships for the three intensive weeks in the study of an orchestral instrument. Additionally, SACO/TTYP continues to recognize and applaud the kind generosity of the corporate community namely Atlantic, and The National Gas Company of Trinidad & Tobago. SACO/TTYP premier music education programme engages over 200 students and growing (ages mainly 4-24), the largest in the Caribbean, and the only symphony orchestra in Trinidad and Tobago. Says Founder/Music Director Kenneth Listhrop “The year has been rather eventful with Sunday March 11th “Growing to Greatness” at Queen’s Hall, sponsored by Her Excellency U.S Ambassador Mrs. Beatrice Wilkinson-Welters and Mr. Anthony Welters founders of the AnBryce Foundation, U.S.A, and the Ministry of Planning’s concert at NAPA on Thursday June 28th.
