Education Grant in Action: Orchestra Electrified Instruments

If you were in attendance at the recent Mosaic Concert held by the Oley Valley High School Music Department, you were treated to an unforgettable evening showcasing remarkable musical talent! Among the captivating performances was a rendition of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" by members of the Orchestra, featuring electronic string instruments made possible through a previous OVCEF Education Grant.


These instruments have not only enriched the musical experience for students but have also provided them with the unique opportunity to connect with the music they listen to daily. Their versatility allows students to explore a wide range of musical styles and genres, enhancing their performance capabilities in various concert settings. Moreover, the electronic string instruments offer distinctive sound that can project above large groups, ensuring that students' talents are heard and appreciated by all.


By incorporating these innovative instruments into their repertoire, students have gained valuable insights into the differences between traditional and electric string instruments, broadening their understanding and appreciation of music as a whole.
