NHS Orchestra Director Kristi Stingle shared the stage with Steve March-Torme (Mel Torme's son) at the Fox Valley Sinfonia event.
NHS Orchestra Director Kristi Stingle enjoyed the honor of conducting a new group called the Fox Valley Sinfonia during spring break.
The group was comprised of professionals in the area that started playing a new instrument just a few months ago. According to Stingle the goal was not perfection, rather, it was to raise funds for the Fox Valley Symphony and Youth Symphony program. Steve March-Torme (Mel Torme’s son) was the emcee for the event.
Violin player, Adelle Sturgell (junior) played her first time at Sinfonia and said, “It was successful.” A few sets she and many others played include: “Hallelujah Chorus,” “Ode to Joy,” “Fanfare Rondeau,” and the “Mahler Symphony No. 1.”
