PCYO Winter Concert ~ Carnival of the Animals March 16th

PCYO Winter Concert ~ Carnival of the Animals

This is a great way to teach children classical music in an interesting way. There will be program notes telling about all the pieces. Come and hear how the orchestra can make the sounds of cats, birds, elephants, donkeys, fish. We will be featuring two fine homeschooled pianists, Elsa Gustaffson and Hailey Adler as we embark on the "Carnival of the Animals" by Saint Saens. You can hear Tchaikovskys lovely interpretation of swans in, "Swan Lake", listen to kittens meow and romp in Leroy Anderson's, "Waltzing Cat", listen to the smooth jazzy panther in Henry Mancini's, "The Pink Panther" and finally listen to all the musicians as they represent characters in Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf". This and more will be presented in a kid friendly manner by amazing local young musicians of the Placer County Youth Orchestra. 

Sunday Evening March 16, 2014 7:00 Valley Springs Presbyterian Church Roseville.
$8.00 Adults and children under 10 free.

With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts, despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. She is determined to find her parents, who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan. 

With the help of the other girls in the Orphanage, Annie escapes to the wondrous and magical world of NYC. In a series of fun-filled adventures, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations and befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Eventually, she finds a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy. 

Annie runs March 7 through March 22, 2014 with performances Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the door or $13 through brownpapertickets.com


 
Tickets for Neil Simon's Rumors Are On Sale Now!
In this hilarious comedy, four couples arrive at the townhouse of a deputy New York City mayor and his wife to attend a party celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary. However, the four couples soon discover that there are no servants, the hostess is missing and the deputy mayor has shot himself in the head (it's only a flesh wound). Comic complications arise when, given everyone's upper class status, they decide they need to do everything possible to conceal the evening's events from the local police and the media. 

Performances are:
April 4 - April 13
Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm, and Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m.
Tickets are $15 online; $17 at the door

About P.E.N 
Parents Education Network is a coalition of parents collaborating with educators, students and the community to empower and bring academic and life success to students with learning and attention differences.
Our story
We are a grassroots organization with national impact, founded in 2003 by a group of parents whose children have learning and attention differences, and who individually struggled to find the information, services, and expertise to help their children succeed academically. We did not want other parents to experience the isolation and frustration they encountered. We came to believe strongly that parents and educators must work collaboratively to help children with LD understand their individual strengths .
What we believe
  • The child suffers if the parent-school relationship is adversarial instead of collaborative.
  • Understanding learning and attention differences, as experienced in the context of the classroom and the home, is the key to a good partnership between the school, parents and students.
  • Parents can't teach educators; parents must teach other parents, and educators other educators.
  • A strength-based approach at school and home is most effective in helping students reach their full potential.
