By  | 

JOSHUA TREE, CA — The acclaimed Joshua Tree Philharmonic (JPHIL) will begin its new season Monday, August 27, at 6:30pm at the Hi-Desert Cultural Center’s Blak Box Theater in Joshua Tree.  The innovative community orchestra welcomes new musicians to join and be a part of its new season that will culminate in a spectacular 100+ musician joint concert series with the Hi-Desert Master Chorus December 13-16, 2018.  The philharmonic and chorus will be performing music selections from Trans-Siberian Orchestra to The Muppet Christmas Carol, Prokofiev’s Troika, John Rutter’s Gloria, Stan Kenton’s The Twelve Days of Christmas, and more.  With concerts always selling-out and long waiting lists, audience goers are encouraged to purchase their tickets early and in advance of the concert performances once they go on sale.

Under the direction of renowned Maestro Jarrod Radnich, the JPHIL is a multi-session, year-round, inter-generational community orchestra comprised of over 50 musicians from the Morongo Basin, Coachella Valley, Inland Empire, High-Desert/Apple Valley region—and beyond.  Open to all instruments and musicians who demonstrate competency on their instrument, all orchestral parts are expertly created and arranged for each musician in the orchestra.

Weekly rehearsals take place Monday evenings at the Hi-Desert Cultural Center’s state-of-the-art facilities located at 61231 Hwy 62 in Joshua Tree, CA.  There are no fees to participate in the orchestra.  Interested new musicians are encouraged to send an email to info@hidesertculturalcenter.org for more information on participation.  All concert proceeds go toward supporting the Cultural Center’s music programs and student scholarships.
