Finding Your Element- TRYPO’s Winter Concert
December 15, 2019 @ 7:00 pm
Come spend a weekend with TRYPO as we explore the four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. Let our talented musicians take you on a journey to find your favorite element!
The weekend begins with a concert on December 14 at 1pm at the Mary Pappert School of Music at Duquesne University, featuring the Wind Symphony and Percussion Ensemble. Tickets are NOT required.
Then be sure to join us on Sunday, December 15 at 7pm at Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland. Come witness the power of the elements as 170 young musicians from Symphonette, Wind Symphony, and the Young People’s Orchestra play works from Handel, Whitacre, Stravinsky, and more!
Admission is free, with suggested donation. Your tickets are souvenir admission decals, which will be in Will Call at the concert waiting for you. Not only will the vinyl decals get you into the concert, but they will be a lovely reminder of your evening! Stick the decal to your instrument or phone case to show everyone you are a fan of TRYPO! If you can’t make the show, but would still like to make a donation towards TRYPO, feel free to click the “Yes, I want to order tickets!” button above and select the donation option in the next page.
