Deer Park musicians to hold fundraiser Oct. 4 Deer Park's High School Orchestra will be performing with world-renowned musician Mark Wood of the multi-platinum-selling symphonic rock group Trans-Siberian Orchestra. A special concert for the community will be held on Thursday, October 4, 2007, 7 p.m. at Deer Park High School. Wood, lead violinist and string conductor, has created a program entitled "Electrify Your Strings" which will give Deer Park's talented musicians the opportunity to play music composed by Wood as well as experience his solo compositions. Wood's workshop focuses on the art of improvisation for acoustic and electric strings, and he will share his techniques with Deer Park's music students. The day of the concert Wood, students, and high school Orchestra Director Kathryn Attard will engage in an all-day rehearsal to prepare for the evening concert, which will feature Wood's awardwinning arrangements and his solo performance on a Viper seven-string fretted violin. An event enjoyable for all age groups, the concert will take place in the Deer Park High School auditorium, Falcon Place, in Deer Park. The ticket prices are $10 and can be purchased at the door, or by calling 631-274-8860.
This concert and collaboration were made possible thanks to a donation from Deer Park businessman Dominic Malvai. All ticket proceeds will directly benefit the school district and their endeavor to purchase new instruments for the music department.
