Carbondale and Carterville High Schools have been given a unique opportunity to host a guest ensemble at the beginning of the semester: the Luxembourg National Youth Wind Orchestra. We are collaborating with the SIU Orchestra Program in hosting these 58 musicians. The ensemble is comprised of young musicians ranging in age from 14 to 23. The group will play a concert in Shryock Auditorium on Wednesday night, September 2nd, in which both CCHS and CHS Bands will perform a standstill performance of their Fall 2015 marching shows.
26 of these Luxembourg students need a home from August 30th through Sept 3rd.
If you are interested in hosting these talented musicians and enjoying a cultural exchange for a few days please see this letter and interest form for more details. Most of these students can speak some English, and French and German.
Applications should be returned prior to August 19th to Mr. Townsend, email's in the letter.
