Hello everyone!

My name is John Yunghans. As you may have heard, I am the newly elected President of the SHJO Booster Organization. I wish to take a moment to introduce myself to you by email and say hello! I genuinely hope to meet you in person in the upcoming months, and I am excited to begin the 34th season of SHJO with you.

I hail from New England and made my way to Pittsburgh when I married my wife, Christina. She is an alumnus of SHJO and is a violinist. We are supporters of music and the arts in the schools as well as Pittsburgh’s cultural scene.

I would also like to make you aware of some details on a few upcoming events for orchestra members and families:

October 29, 12pm - 1pm: SHJO Halloween pizza party/spirits of the symphony haunted house,

Nov 5, 7pm: Performance at Pittsburgh Civic Orchestra Lobby

Nov 13, 3pm: SHJO fall concert.

Dec 11, 2pm: SHJO holiday concert.

Ice cream social/family game night in Jan. Date TBA.

Thank you for your participation, and I am looking forward to a wonderful 34th season.

Warmest regards,
John Yunghans
