NC Opera Adds OPERA IN THE PINES to 2014-15 Season

North Carolina Opera will be returning to the great outdoors this coming May with a program of Opera in the Pines, presented at the picturesque Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary on Saturday, May 9, 2015 at 8:00pm.

A late addition to the 2014/15 North Carolina Opera season, Opera in the Pines returns to the line-up for a second year after it's successful and popular performance last Spring. Maestro Timothy Myers will lead the NC Opera Orchestra alongside featured singers for this engaging program of popular opera favorites.

The program will also include guest performances by Kidznotes, a Durham based nonprofit organization inspired by "El Sistema," the international movement of music for social change hailing from Venezuela. Kidznotes changes the life trajectory of underserved K-12 students through orchestral training. Kidznotes provides 10 hours of music instruction a week free of charge to participants in grades K-7. Launched in 2010, the program now serves more than 200 students in five Durham elementary and middle schools. The Raleigh initiative which began in the fall of the 2013, has welcomed 70 Raleigh students to the Kidznotes family. For more information, visit www.kidznotes.org.
