MHS Violinist Accepted into the All-Nationals Orchestra

11/4/2020

 
The MHSO is very proud of Eshan Parkash, a junior member of the McLean High School Philharmonic Orchestra, who was chosen to perform with the National Association for Music Educator’s All-National Orchestra in their new virtual format in January!

Eshan began playing the violin at the age of 5. He currently studies under Ko Sugiyama, a former student of The Juilliard School and current assistant concertmaster of the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra. Under his direction, Eshan won a division of The Joseph and Goldie Feder Memorial String Competition, and also rose in ranks to being the concertmaster of The Capitol Symphonic Youth Orchestra’s most advanced orchestra. Additionally, Eshan participated in both the Northern Virginia Regional Orchestra and All-Virginia State orchestra as a freshman and sophomore, most notably being ranked 5th in the region as a junior and 7th in the state as a sophomore. His acceptance into the All-Virginia Sate Orchestra last school year led to the opportunity to audition for the All-Nationals level. Congratulations, Eshan!

Holiday Greens Fundraiser

10/20/2020

 
Even though it’s still only autumn, it’s never too soon to dream of a snowy winter! The McLean HS Orchestra Parents Association is selling holiday greens in order to raise funds to support the virtual orchestras classes with guest artists, performers, and lecturers this year.
 
Live greens from Sherwood Forrest Farms are the perfect winter decoration, make a wonderful holiday gift, and are even delivered directly to the recipient! This is a great way to support the orchestra program and bring some holiday cheer to family and friends during this unprecedented time of social distancing. Not only do the greens look wonderful, but they also smell great, too! And with a few spritzes of water once a week, they can last for months without decaying. With items being delivered directly to the customer this year, it’s an excellent COVID-safe gift option for family and friends.
Anyone can order items for themselves or purchase items as gifts, with items being shipped to the customer’s preferred location. Items can only be shipped within the continental United States (sorry, no international shipments or deliveries to Alaska/Hawaii will be made). All items will be delivered directly to the home of the customer during the first two weeks following Thanksgiving.
 
PLACE ORDERS HERE:  https://sherwoodfundraiser.com/mcleanhighschoolorchestraparentsassociation

All orders must be placed by 12pm on November 9th at the website above. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact Ms. Smith at sasmith4@fcps.edu.
