| Description Program Srvc Accom | In the fiscal year 2020-2021, The Westerlies independently released two albums and produced 62 virtual events, garnering over 75,000 views on their online streaming channels. The ensemble continued their dedication to music education through a yearlong residency at the Francis W. Parker School in Chicago, IL, as well as virtual workshops and masterclasses for universities and presenting organizations across the country, including Michigan State University (East Lansing, Michigan), Shenandoah University (Winchester, Virginia), and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (Greensboro, North Carolina). Both educational and performance initiatives coalesced in the third annual "Westerlies Fest," a four-day virtual event in February of 2021, combining evening concerts with daytime virtual workshops for thirteen schools in the Greater Seattle Area. Program highlights include the Philharmonic Society of Orange County (Irvine, CA), NY PopsUp (New York, New York), Joe's Pub (New York, New York), the Festival of New Trumpet Music (New York, New York), New York Youth Symphony (New York, New York), Constellations Chamber Concerts (Washington, DC), Chamber Music Monterey (Monterey, California), The Atterbury House Sessions (New York, New York), and Dumbarton Concerts (Washington, DC). | DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt |
