This past March break, the Stellae Boreales violin ensemble travelled to New York City for our annual violin performance tour. As soon as we reached our hotel, we knew it would be a trip to remember when a luggage-storing robot greeted us at the entrance. Not only was the view from our 26th story hotel room breathtaking, but our hotel was only a couple of blocks away from the famous Times Square.
Over the 5 days that we were in New York City, we had the opportunity to perform three concerts around the city. Our first concert took place in Laguardia High School for the Performing Arts, where we and one of their orchestras performed for each other, answering each others’ questions afterwards. It was very interesting to hear about what the life of an arts student in New York was like. Some of the students commuted over an hour on the subway to get to school! Next, we performed in the School for Strings in downtown New York, where we got to hear some of their chamber music and rehearse the Bach Double together. Lastly, we performed at the St. John’s in the Village Anglican Church, where we got to perform with an organ instead of a piano, which was a very fun and interesting experience!
Aside from practicing and performing, we got a lot of free time in the city to go sightseeing. We went on a boat ride around New York Harbour, where we saw Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty from the water! While some went to go see musicals on the legendary Broadway, some of us even went to the Juilliard School and saw two incredible performances of a pre-college pianist and violinist. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that it was an amazing trip, where we went to the MET, the New York Museum of Natural History and, most importantly, some of us had our first meal at a Chipotle. All in all, our trip to New York was a great experience, one that I’m sure I’ll never forget.This past March break, the Stellae Boreales violin ensemble travelled to New York City for our annual violin performance tour.

Stellae Boreales and family members arrived in New York City listening to the incomparable Frank Sinatra singing "Theme from New York, New York". Most of the group had dinner together at The Greek Kitchen in Hell's Kitchen while a few checked out an Off-Broadway show "The Other Josh Cohen". Today begins with an 8:00am rehearsal to keep the ensemble in top shape for the upcoming performances. The rest of the day will be spent exploring sites of NYC.Stellae Boreales and family members arrived in New York City listening to the incomparable Frank Sinatra singing "Theme from New York, New York".

They will forever remember the special moment they shared together with the great violinist backstage during the intermission.OSS students were thrilled and inspired to hear Pinchas Zukerman perform Bruch's Violin Concerto in G minor with the NAC Orchestra.

OSS brought a new experience to residents of The Court at Barrhaven Retirement Residence with Elaine Klimasko’s masterful, inspiring and engaging violin masterclass. The students and parents present learned so much both by participating and observing, and left feeling greatly inspired. The residents were enthralled with the whole experience. The final question from the residents was “When are you coming back?” Special thanks to the City of Ottawa for awarding OSS a grant in support of this wonderful initiative in the community.OSS brought a new experience to residents of The Court at Barrhaven Retirement Residence with Elaine Klimasko’s masterful, inspiring and engaging violin masterclass.
