Wrote my first press release today!
BURNABY, BC, November 20, 2010 -- The Simon Fraser University Chamber Orchestra (SFUCO) will be holding a concert on December 3, 2010 at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. Join us at 7 pm for an evening of varied music including themes from feature films Pirates of the Caribbean and Forrest Gump. The concert will run for approximately 2 hours and will include a special premiere of a violin concerto by local composer Vincent Lo. "When I first came to SFU, I was looking forward to joining a university orchestra. But when I learned no such organization existed, I was more motivated than ever to start one," says president Jaewon Yon. "SFUCO started off as a string ensemble back in 2007 and has since grown into a full-scale orchestra. Now entering into our fourth year of operation, SFUCO continues to build a sense of community among student musicians and to promote interest in the performing arts." Admission is by donation. All proceeds will go to Rotary Coats for Kids, a campaign that provides winter coats for children in need. For more information, please visit us online at www.sfuco.org or e-mail coordinator Jerry Yon at jjy1@sfu.ca. ABOUT THE SFU CHAMBER ORCHESTRA -- The SFU Chamber Orchestra is a non- profit organization based at the Burnaby campus of Simon Fraser University, comprising of over thirty musicians of various academic and musical backgrounds. ###
