The Northern Lights ABC Orchestra is made up of sixth, seventh, and eight graders. Orchestra at Northern Lights ABC is a three-year program, where students become passionate musicians. Students go from not playing an instrument before sixth grade, to being ready to join high school orchestras across the city by the end of eighth grade. We perform twice a year for the school, teachers, parents, and families. Students have opportunities to hear live, professional performances by winning tickets provided by the Block Foundation, for the classic symphony concerts, sign up for the Student Dress Rehearsals with the Anchorage Opera, and have access to instrument specialists through the Solo and Ensemble festivals. The Orchestra at Northern Lights ABC is made up dedicated, hard working young people with success in sight. My name is Mrs. Eakes, and this is my 2nd year at Northern Lights ABC. I’m a member of the Anchorage Symphony Bass Section, and also a Principal Bassist for the Anchorage Opera. I’m a born and raised Alaskan, a wife, and a mom to two young boys. I’m excited about this school year, and all of the wonderful music the Northern Lights ABC Orchestra, and I are going to make! |
