Live at Carnegie Hall: The St. Joseph High School Orchestras

An inspiring performance of "The Russian Sailor's Dance" by Michigan high school musicians. Close your eyes and you'd think you were listening to the NY Philharmonic. Besides being the first group from St. Joseph to play in Carnegie Hall (on a Friday night, no less), the conductor, Steve Reed, is retiring after this year. So this is his last class. In full disclosure, I was in his first -- the class of 1977.

In 1976/77,Steve Reed was my music teacher @ Marcellus High school. He was a great teacher and a good friend. I new then he was destined for bigger and better things.
I'm proud to have meet him....thanks for the video

I was one of the freshman that played, and I played viola(: It was really an amazing experience! We also got to play in the Shostakovitch which I thought was a good experience.

@humantorchkid1994 did all of the orchestras play or just syphony and chamber?
