The orchestra performed school concerts and evening performances in Healey, Girdwood, and Kenai, all in Alaska, from September 21-24, 2006 as educational outreach programs, their concert repertoire including Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf and Beethoven's Symphony No. 3, “Eroica”. Mount McKinley is only viewable for about sixty days a year.
