Orchestra Director
Dr. Scott McCormick
Langley High School
Dr. McCormick (aka ”Doc” to his
students) is in his 14th year of teaching with
the Fairfax County Public school system as
director of the orchestral program at
Langley. Originally from Canada, he
completed his B.M. at the University of
Western Ontario and his M.M. and D.M. in Performance and Literature from
Indiana University. He was recently invited to join the music faculty at Patrick
Henry College, where he serves as an adjunct professor of music theory and
instructional music. He also performs as a violist with the Washington Bach
Consort and has played with a number of period instrument ensembles in the
D.C. area.
Dr. McCormick is a contributor to new research in the historical
performance practice of music of Baroque era. He specializes in the
performance of the viola d’amore, an unusual baroque instrument with
sympathetic strings. An excerpt of his doctoral thesis ‘Pur al fin Gentil Viola’
was published in the Newsletter of the Viola d’Amore Society of America. One
of his performances, from the National Gallery in Ottawa with members of the
Canadian group Tafelmusik, was broadcast nationally by CBC radio. He has
also performed as a viola d’amore soloist with the Richmond Symphony, with
the Penn State University Baroque Orchestra, and for the annual National
Cathedral performance of Bach’s St. John Passion.
Dr. McCormick, and his wife Rebekah are founders of the Second Fiddle
Farm, a 12-acre facility in Loudoun County, which is home to two horses, three
sheep, seven chickens and a new puppy. Their spunky seven-year-old daughter,
Norah, and younger brother, Hugh, keep Doc and Rebekah filled with joy when
he is not teaching his Langley Orchestra students.

Director
Ms. Elizabeth
Leung
Langley High School Freshman
Ms. Elizabeth Leung began playing
Cooper Middle School
the violin at the age of 5. She grew
up in Potomac, Maryland and
participated in all the youth orchestras that she could including Maryland
Classic Youth Orchestra (MCYO), All-State, Philharmonic Orchestra. She
also was the manager and one of the violinists for the MCYO string quartet
which performed everywhere from weddings, golf tournaments, master
classes, and at the White House. She held an internship at Cabin John Middle
School in Maryland where she coached sectionals and chamber music. She also
earned a spot with the National Symphony Orchestra Young Associates
Program, where she observed National Symphony rehearsals. Ms. Leung
graduated from the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University with her
Bachelors of Music Education. While at Indiana University, she was a member
of the student chapters of the National Association for Music Education, and
the American String Teachers Association (ASTA). Ms. Leung presented with
her colleagues at the National Convention. Currently, Ms. Leung teaches
orchestra both at Langley High School and Cooper Middle School, while
managing the Young Artists Orchestra for MCYO. When she is not playing or
teaching, she loves to spend time with her bunny named Russell, and bakes
cupcakes.
District XII Orchestra Assessment
Each year, the Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association organizes
assessment opportunities for all the instrumental music programs in the
state of Virginia. In each area, a panel of three professional adjudicators is
assembled to critique the participating ensembles and judge them against
state standards for excellence in performance, sight-reading, musicianship
and orchestral skills.
Langley High School and Cooper Middle School are members of District
XII, which includes schools from the northern region of Fairfax County and
neighboring Arlington County. This year’s District 12 VBODA Assessment
will include more than 50 orchestras and over 3,000 students, making it
among the largest and most competitive music festivals in the USA. It has
grown so large that the event has been split into two divisions. The High
School portion will be held at Falls Church High School on March 7th. The
Middle School entries will be hosted by Marshall HS on March 13th.
This year, the Cooper Chamber Orchestra will perform at the Grade IV
level. Langley will be preparing the Symphonic Orchestra (4th & 5th
Periods) to compete at the Grade V level and the Philharmonic Orchestra
will perform at the highest level of competition, Grade VI. They will
attempt to qualify our music department for the prestigious “Blue Ribbon”.
This honor is achieved by only a handful of Virginia schools, and our
department was honored to receive this award each of the past four years.
We hope that every orchestra family will do their part to ensure that our
musicians arrive on time and prepared to represent our pyramid in
competition. Please come out to cheer on our Saxons and to hear some of
the other excellent orchestras in our community.
