The String Ensemble, directed by Dr. Tania Fleischer, recently performed at the AVPA Spring Dance Concert in collaboration with AVPA dance students, featuring two movements of Capriccio Espagnol by Rimsky-Korsakov. The Percussion Ensemble was also featured on the Spring Dance Concert in two works with dancers.

The Jazz Combos have also been performing throughout the year.  Two combos recently performed at the Culver City Education Foundation’s Tribute to the Stars at Sony Pictures Studios. One of the other four combos performed at a private wedding last month, which also featured members of the Culver City HS Marching Band. 

The AVPA music ensembles will also be featured at the AVPA annual Java Gala on June 3 at the Kirk Douglas Theatre, a benefit production for AVPA sponsored by the AVPA Foundation. 

Please note the earlier start time of 6:30pm.  Admission to the Spring Concert is a requested donation of $5, but no one will be turned away.  Please come out and support our outstanding student musicians and celebrate the finale for our seniors as they prepare to graduate.

Tickets available at the door.
