A new season of West Seattle’s community orchestra, Westside Sympohnette, is starting and they’re inviting more musicians to join them. Symphonette Director Toni Reineke says that they need musicians who can play the bassoon, trumpet, French horn, viola, or the string bass. They have three orchestras: a beginning string ensemble, an intermediate full orchestra, and an advanced full orchestra. Musicians of any age are welcome, but they must be able to read music. The group rehearses at Chief Sealth/Boren, 5900 Delridge SW, juniors and strings 5:30-6:30, senior orchestra 6:45-8:15. Registration fee is $60 for this spring session. Scholarships are available for those in need. For more information contact Toni Reineke, tonireineke@comcast.net.
