The upcoming side by side concert is approaching fast for music students involved in the QCSYE program. QCSYE stands for Quad City Symphony Youth Ensembles, and the final concert of the season is this Sunday. When asked about this big finale, a student said, “I’m excited for the concert, I am mostly excited to work with the students younger and older than us”, another student said, “I feel like I am going to fall asleep because the concert is going to be really long”.
Another student remarks, “scared but in a good way”, and “excited to listen to the other orchestra's play.” Currently, the concert is set to take place in the Adler theater, with performances from Prelude strings, Youth Symphony Ensemble, Philharmonic Orchestra, Youth Symphony Orchestra, and the Quad City Symphony. It is expected that there will be a full theater, along with food and drinks sold during the intermission. All in all, everyone seems to be excited, and slightly nervous, for the season to come to a close. But regardless, it is going to be one exciting afternoon.
