HIGHLIGHTS FROM
Carnegie Hall's
LINK UP - The Orchestra Sings
2019
Saratoga Orchestra of Whidbey Island
Anna Edwards, Music Director/Conductor
Recorded at
Oak Harbor Elementary School
May 21, 2019
One of our favorite events of the season!
Carnegie Hall's Link Up program with our special guest musicians from
Broad View Elementary, Oak Harbor Elementary, Hillcrest Elementary, Crescent Harbor Elementary and Olympic View Elementary.
Link Up, a program created by Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute, pairs orchestras with students in grades 3–5 at schools in their local communities to explore orchestral repertoire through a hands-on music curriculum provided free of charge to the schools. Students participating in Link Up study the curriculum for several months with their music teacher before attending a culminating concert in which they sing and play recorders alongside the orchestra.
Since 2003, Carnegie Hall has partnered with local, professional, community, and university orchestras to offer the highly interactive Link Up at sites across the United States and around the world. Through this partnership, Carnegie Hall aims to support orchestras’ existing education programs, strengthen their partnerships with local schools, and provide the highest quality curricula, resources, professional development, and other support.
Saratoga Orchestra is proud to be one of 120 orchestras worldwide that offer this to their community
and since 2016, we have reached over 2800 Whidbey Island school children through Link Up!
Thanks to our wonderful financial sponsors for helping with this project:
Island Thrift
Tulalip Tribes Care Charitable Contributions
Oak Harbor School District
Oak Harbor Educational Foundation
Officer's Spouse's Club of NAS Whidbey Island
Many thanks also to all the support from our friends at Carnegie Hall
and special shout out to the #OHmazing
OHSD elementary music teachers for being such an inspiration to your students
and the administration at Oak Harbor Elementary for hosting the concert.

As you enjoy today's Virtual Concert, please consider donating to our Emergency Musician Fund. As you may or may not know, many of Saratoga Orchestra musicians are freelance professionals and patchwork their livelihood together with performing in several ensembles as well as teaching lessons. With performance halls shut down and “social distancing” being the norm these days, most of their income streams from performance and teaching jobs has vanished overnight.
Your donation will help bridge the gap with food, gas and utility bill expenses.
Please help as you are able and we hope to be sharing wonderful music with you - in person - in a real concert hall very soon!
