Classical Music Concert Held at Sunrider Headquarters

The Palos Verdes Regional Orchestra and Young Violinists performed a beautiful, free concert at the Sunrider Headquarters in Torrance on Saturday, May 9, 2009, to an audience of 300. Many commented after the performance that the young musicians were “Amazing!” Along with the performance, the Los Angeles LDS Mission President, President Blackburn, gave a special Mother’s Day message about the importance of mothers and women.

Sunrider has sponsored this orchestra for several years, and it has grown to be a great success in the South Bay community. Children and adults of all ages are invited to participate in the orchestra, which has regular performances throughout the year, at no expense to themselves other than instrument rental/purchase. The orchestra, conducted by Elmer Hsu, has drawn together a very talented group of children and teenage virtuosos who will surely go on to perform professionally after finishing school.

Sunrider is proud to sponsor the orchestra as an effort to educate through music and create unity throughout the community. The musicians rehearse every Friday afternoon and evening at the Palos Verdes Stake Center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with holiday break in the months of July and August.
