Dougherty Valley High School Chamber Orchestra

The Dougherty Valley High School Chamber Orchestra (San Ramon Valley Unified School District), under the direction of Patricia Drury, is honored to be making their second appearance presenting a pre-concert lobby performance at the Paramount. In addition to presenting seasonal school concerts, this vibrant ensemble, part of a large and thriving music department at Dougherty Valley High School, has been invited this year to perform at the San Francisco State University Orchestra Festival, to serve as the demo orchestra for the California Orchestra Directors Association sponsored Orchestra Music Reading Session at California All-State Music Education Conference (All-State), and to participate in the 2016 Sounds of Summer Music Festival in NYC which culminates in a performance at Carnegie Hall. Numerous Dougherty Valley High School musicians are also members of the Oakland Symphony Youth Orchestra, and the Dougherty Valley High School Chamber Orchestra is extremely grateful for the enlightening and enjoyable rehearsal visits by Maestro Michael Morgan.
