Event Details:

When: Saturday, April 11th, 2026 at 2:00 pm
Where: First Congregational Church, 2101 16th St, Greeley, CO 80631

For the first time, the Greeley Philharmonic Youth Orchestra will feature a full symphony orchestra at their spring concert. The concert features works by Tchaikovsky, Bizet, Fritz Kreisler, Reinhold Gliere, and Juventino Rosas. Kreisler’s “Praeludium and Allegro” will feature GPO Associate Concertmaster Chris Leonard as a soloist.

The Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra has established the Patsy Zick Memorial Scholarship in honor of a local music educator and dedicated supporter. At just 15 years old, Patsy Zick (Schmeitenknop) became the first concertmaster of the Greeley Junior Philharmonic Orchestra, founded by Henry Ginsburg. She continued her musical journey at Colorado State College of Education (now the University of Northern Colorado), earning her degree in Violin Performance in 1954. The first recipient of this scholarship is GPYO Principal Bassist Calvin Long. Calvin has been selected for his leadership within the youth orchestra and musical ambition.

Join us for an afternoon of exciting symphonic works featuring students from all over Greeley and the surrounding region!
