Shorewood High School String & Symphony Orchestras

Scott Tisdel, acting principal cellist of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and the founding cellist of the Prometheus Trio, will be the guest artist at the 5th annual benefit concert for the Shorewood High School String and Symphony Orchestras.  

The concert begins at 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 24, 2011, in the Shorewood High School Auditorium, 1701 E. Capitol Dr. It will feature works by Haydn, Dvorak, Ysaye and Sibelius. 

Tickets are $5 at the door. Proceeds help support the Shorewood Orchestra Boosters, a non-profit parent organization committed to the support and enhancement of the Shorewood Orchestra program, which involves more than 500 Shorewood students.       

In addition to Tisdel’s work as a professional cellist, he and his wife, Stefanie Jacob, are the parents of two Shorewood Orchestra students, Andy (Class of 2008) and Emmy (Class of 2011). 

Shorewood High School Orchestra students will have the opportunity to work closely with Tisdel in preparation for the concert, an invaluable experience for the young musicians.
