THE DESERT’S PREMIERE COMMUNITY ORCHESTRA TO PERFORM SEASON FINALE “EXPERIENCE MUSIC CONCERTS” AT BLAK BOX THEATER

JOSHUA TREE, CA – Don’t just listen, experience music! The Desert Music Foundation’s innovative Joshua Tree Philharmonic (J-PHIL) will perform its annual season finale interactive “Experience Music Concerts” this weekend, June 17th and 18th at 7pm at the Hi-Desert Cultural Center’s state-of-the-art Blak Box Theater. The brainchild of acclaimed virtuoso and maestro Jarrod Radnich, the J-PHIL is an intergenerational community orchestra that is comprised of almost 60 musicians from the Hi-Desert, Coachella Valley and Inland Empire regions.

A fun and eclectic mix of music that the whole family will enjoy, the J-PHIL Season Finale will feature music from popular films including Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and more. The concerts will also feature other popular music including “High Hopes” from Pink Floyd’s The Division Bell, Ravel’s “Bolero”, excerpts from Holst’s “The Planets”, and Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Scheherazade” among others.

“The J-PHIL truly represents a celebration of community and art, and some of the best parts of the Experience Music Concerts are the interactivity with the audiences,” stated Radnich. “The audiences get to enjoy entertaining and educational insights into the composers and their music, and they even get the opportunity to take part in a fun, interactive drum experience as they ‘play’ along with the orchestra!”

A special portion of the concerts will also feature performances by the Cultural Center’s new class of violin students under the direction of Palm Springs High School’s Director of Strings and master educator Jason Powell.

Proceeds from the concerts go toward the Desert Music Foundation’s Music Scholarship Fund for aspiring student musicians.

Tickets are $15 and seating is limited.
