Activities
As the principal sponsor of the Panama City Youth Orchestra, The Historical McKenzie House provides rehearsal space weekly in Panama City, Florida. Annually, we run two orchestra seasons with a series of public performances scheduled as each cycle concludes. New and varied genres of music are introduced as a new season begins. Older students from the advanced group meet regularly with a younger Suzuki group prior to their rehearsals with the full orchestra.
We want to thank Gulf Coast College for allowing us to hold our rehearsals there!
