The Little Delaware Youth Ensemble presents its Spring Concert

It’s time for theLittle Delaware Youth Ensemble’s annual Spring Concert. Originally established in 2000, the group provides the opportunity for young string players to gain ensemble experience they would not be able to get otherwise in a more rural community.

This year’s spring concert features works by Felix Mendelssohn, Antonio Vivaldi and even an orchestral arrangement of “Clocks” by the band Coldplay.

The spring concert is also a time to say good-bye to senior members. “We have one graduating senior this year,” said music director Uli Speth. “We've had a few more past years, but this is just one.” Former members of the Little Delaware Youth Ensemble have gone on to college and some are still performing.

The Little Delaware Youth Ensemble presents its Spring Concert on Sunday, June 2 at 3pm in the Foothills Performing Arts Center in Oneonta.
