First Performance at The Cohen Home

Yesterday was our first performance of the year at The Cohen Home. We are so happy to begin the Notes of Joy performances again for this school year! Our talented players put on a wonderful performance and afterwards, we got to catch up with some of the residents.

We are very excited to share our passion for music with the attentive residents and they are happy to have us back as well!

End of the Season

Hello everyone! 

This past semester has been truly amazing. Seeing everyone so excited to speak with new people and share their love for music has made this experience so so fun :)

Here are some photos from the performances! 

Performing at the Benton House

Very large crowd :)

 

Larry and Nancy Elgart, the loveliest couple!!

Last performance at the Sunrise of Johns Creek! 

I am left with such a bittersweet feeling now that it is finally May... because unfortunately, us seniors are graduating. I'm sure they will miss this a lot as well. 

Thank you to everyone who has supported us! Please continue to support this amazing group of students because they are so willing to serve the community and so kind at heart. 

Take care everyone!

The Cohen Home

Many students went to the Cohen Home to have our second holiday performance of the year! Unfortunately, George and I were unable to come because we had our own concerts, but I'm so happy to hear that everything went very well!! Everyone said that they had a ton of fun and, of course, that is what we are all about. :) 

Big shout out to Annie Su, Alex Yang, and Akhil Upad for helping out today! 

Our next performance is at the Sunrise of Johns Creek on December 12th at 2:00 PM.

See you all there!

The Lovely Benton House

Today was our first holiday performance of the year at the Benton House! We played pieces such as "White Christmas," "Chanukah is Here," and "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer." The residents seemed to really enjoy our new selections, and we were happy to see that they sang along!

Hope to see everyone there! <3

Back to the Cohen Home!

Today, we went to the Cohen Home for our second performance of the year!

We played chamber music instead of following our usual routine, so students displayed their musicality and technical capabilities! 

Our next performance will be at the Parc at Duluth on October 3rd at 2:00 PM. 

See you there!

First Performance of the 2015-2016 Season!

We are so excited to start performing again for the new school year!

This year, we have 60 members in NOJ, the most we have ever had! I'm so excited to see them share their amazing talents throughout the community and spread their passion for music :)

We were welcomed by the sweet residents of the Benton House. We saw many familiar faces as well as new faces!

Loved talking to Ms. Nancy Elgart!! 

Our next performance will be at the Cohen Home on September 26th at 2:00 PM.

See you all then!

Back to Sunrise!

Yesterday, we once again had to perform for the residents of Sunrise of Johns Creek. It's so great to see so many familiar faces, and we love catching up with the residents after.

We are so excited to have some band members join us at performances! Pablo and Joey, two wonderful alto saxophone players,  prepared some jazz classics for the residents, and they (and us string players) loved it. They've been doing an amazing job. It's fun to have them play and provide some variety and more familiar tunes for the residents to enjoy. 

This lovely lady loves to chat with us, and she teaches us so much. She always gives us wonderful insight on life and always has such a happy and optimistic attitude. It is always a pleasure to see her in the audience and listen to her stories after the performance. We can't wait to see her and the residents again!
