We (Debonne’ Winery) are so pleased to have the Mentor High School’s Mannheim Orchestra performing again at the winery! Relax on the lawn and enjoy an evening of fine young musicians. This event is a FUNDRAISER for the orchestra, so an Event/Parking Donation is requested. In addition, the Grill will be open and will be donating 15% of all food sales back to the group. Concert starts at 6pm. Ticket/registration is NOT required and this event is open to the public, but feel free to let us know you’re coming, so we can be prepared!

The Mannheim Orchestra is an extra-curricular ensemble built with the top string students in the district. The students perform professional level compositions and, like the Symphony Orchestra, enter the OMEA State Orchestra Contest each year in the highest tier available. In order to be considered for this extra curricular ensemble, students must score high enough on an entrance audition which requires a solo performance of music that is indicative of our OMEA class. These auditions occur in the spring and are open to any 8th grade string student as well as any student who has completed a year in the Concert or Symphony Orchestra.
