We are proud of our Music Director Janet Vukotich who was featured in NPR 90.5 WSEA's "90.5 WESA Celebrates People Making a Difference." This segment highlights what a gift that Janet has been to SHJO for the last 14 years. As you listen to the interview, you will notice a common refrain, "I rasied my hand." Janet has over and over again volunteered to serve SHJO in new ways and her service has been priceless. Please check out the link below to listen to the audio interview (with full article) on NPR 90.5 WESA's website.
Upcoming Events & Our New Booster President
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
