About Electrify Your Symphony Concert

This year the Johnson City Schools Orchestra Guild wants to amp it up, literally, by bringing in a program called Electrify Your Symphony!™. Electrify Your Symphony is a music educational phenomenon that FIRES UP students, teachers, and local communities by injecting a high voltage dose of rock into a school’s music education program. The intensive rock and roll workshop for education departments boosts student’s self-esteem and motivation, increases school-wide, family and community engagement, and helps raise money for the Johnson City Schools Orchestra Program.

Conceived by world-renowned musician, Emmy-winning composer, and electric violinist Mark Wood, EYS is celebrating over 20 years of rocking schools and universities across the nation. Profits from tickets sold to the event directly benefit the school’s music program. Mark Wood has shared the stage with some of the most well known musicians of our time including Trans-Siberian Orchestra (he is an original member), Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, Steven Tyler, Kanye West, and Lenny Kravitz. But it’s his ability to inspire students that makes him a truly great educational motivator.
