Battle of the Sections: Orchestra Edition

Online Event | Thursday, June 25, 2020 | 7:00 PM

We hope you enjoyed The Battle of the Sections: Orchestra Edition, the first-of-its-kind online event, including the best rendition of Baby Shark ever heard! Many thanks to our guests, sponsors and generous donors who helped make this event a success. We raised critical funds that will support our education programs and our future plans when we are able to return to live performances. 

Congratulations to Team Strings for raising the most amount of money and winning the “Biggest Bang for the Buck” Award.

Congratulations to Team Percussion for earning the most votes and winning the coveted title of “Best Orchestra Section in the History of the World!”

If you enjoyed this first-of-its-kind event, please consider an additional gift to New West Symphony.

Matching Challenge

Because of your generous support, we unlocked the Challenge Match from John Hammer, which doubled the money raised! Many thanks John! And surprising us live on air, board chair elect Dwight Brown issued another challenge match of $10,000, on behalf of his company Home Helpers Home Care. Thank you Dwight, for supporting New West Symphony! 

Meet the Arrangers

Four composers are arranging music for each orchestra section for their performance on June 25! Music we know and love will make its way into fun and exciting medleys based on four themes: Upbeat, Downbeat, Dance Beat, and Heart Beat. Learn more about the arrangers.
