MineolaPatch has issued the following report from Jacqueline Kendrick:
It’s not everyday that a sting band gets to fully rock out with a famous musician, let alone TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA’s Mark Wood.
For some members of Mineola’s string orchestra, it has become old hat as the long-haired electric violinist rocked the auditorium at Mineola High School Tuesday night, the entire orchestra filling in as his backup while riffs of JIMI HENDRIX wailed across stage, bathed in a pink neon light.
Put together by the Mineola Department of Fine and Performing Arts, String Night is the mid-year performance where middle and high school orchestras perform pieces they’ve practiced for almost half a year and is free to residents.
