Proceeds go toward reducing student costs for participating in our annual performance at the Mall of America’s Holiday Music Festival.”
The Mall of America Holiday Music Festival has become a well-known attraction at the shopping venue in the Twin Cities area. The festival helps the Mall kick off its holiday shopping season and features performances from schools throughout the Midwest.
“This next year,” says Filipiak meaning in the fall semester of 2016, “ will be our second year performing in the Mall’s Holiday Music Festival. The performance is during December on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, but the exact date and time are not determined until mid-October.”

“For this concert, I chose the hardest music of the year. One of the pieces we are playing is the Concerto for Two Violins by J.S. Bach. A concerto is a piece of music written for a soloist or soloists and orchestra, in this case for two violin soloists and orchestra. Our soloists will be seniors Anthony Funk and Brandon Le.”

Music will be performed that reflects the varying skill levels of all the grades, as well as a grand finale that has multiple levels of difficulty musically. At the concert we will be announcing the recipient of the National School Orchestra Award.
“The National School Orchestra Award,” she adds, “is a nationally recognized award given to a member of the orchestra for their excellence in the ensemble. More specifically, this award is given to a senior orchestra student who is recognized by his and her peers, as well as the orchestra director, for outstanding contribution to the orchestra program in playing, involvement, attitude and leadership. The student receives an engraved desk piece, a pin and a certificate, presented at our spring concert. The student’s name will also be engraved on a plaque that hangs in the orchestra office.”
Stay tuned, Filipiak says, for the announcement of the winner and news on fall 2016 endeavors as the orchestra prepares to make joyous music at the Mall of America Holiday Festival.
