DISNEY CONCERT HALL

Two Samohi orchestras had the privilege of performing at

Walt Disney Concert Hall. The Samohi Philharmonic Orchestra performed as part of the West Coast Youth Orchestra Festival. And after a cancelled European Tour, the Samohi Symphony Orchestra performed a concert to raise awareness and much needed funds for the victims of terrorism and violence.

LAEMMLE LIVE

The Samohi Chamber Orchestra had the honor of launching LAEMMLE LIVE.  LAEMMLE LIVE is a new performing arts

series held in the mezzanine lounge of the Monica Film Center.  Emerging artists and professional performers from local schools and organizations celebrate Santa Monica’s diverse community with live performance in a salon style venue. 

SPAGHETTI & STRINGS

Students don concert attire and perform for guests at the Spaghetti & Strings annual fundraiser. Guests enjoy a delicious pasta dinner during the performance. This fun-filled event hosts a silent auction and drawing. An evening of wonderful music, food, and prizes. All proceeds benefit Samohi orchestras.

WINTER & SPRING CONCERTS

The Spring Concert is one of the three main concerts during

the school year in which all seven orchestras perform.  The performances reflect months of rehearsal and will also be the repertoire that each ensemble will play for adjudication later

in the month. 

Dear Musicians & Families,
