Students will also get the chance to perform a work by the resident composer with the Arapahoe Philharmonic! Concerts will be at varying venues in and around the Highlands Ranch area.
These students will also be featured in the Figaro Opera Project. We have partnered with the Italian/American Opera Foundation in this exciting venture to try and help foster a love and understanding of Opera in America's youth. Young musicians will be featured alongside professional vocalists and instrumentalists to experience Mozart's, The Magic Flute.
Auditions are required for enrollment in the Symphony Orchestra. Ages range from 13-21. Rehearsals are held weekly at Avanti Music Academy, and take place Sunday afternoons from 4:30pm-7:00pm.

Maestro Vignati has studied conducting and participated in International Master Classes with H. Baumann, A. Joo, N. Hansalik Samale, Lawrence Golan, and V. Delman. In 1990 he began his professional career in earnest, conducting concerts in Italian theatres and enlarging his area of experience outside of Italy.
The opera, “The Magic Flute,” is the last opera by Mozart.
The world premiere of this opera which was actually conducted by Mozart on the 30th of September in 1791.
Papagano was played by Emanuel Schikaneder, the principal of the theater, who requested Mozart to compose this opera. Mozart died on the 5th of December that year. He instructed those closest to him to play “The Magic Flute” for him when he is on his deathbed. It is assumed that Mozart truly loved this opera. It became so successful, it was performed 100 times that year.
