It seems that the only time I blog these days is to promote some event I'm involved in! Sorry 'bout that. One day I will find the time to sit down and write about what has been happening with finishing school, passing my diploma exam, applying and auditioning for uni, 6-a-side soccer, and teaching. One day. Unfortunately today is not that day.
This week I will be spending most of my time finalising preparations for the Snowy Mountains Ensemble's first Orchestra Concert. It is so exciting, but also rather stressful when things don't go according to plan (which is always).
We are playing some pretty awesome pieces of music including:
- 'Memory' from Cats by Andrew Lloyd-Webber
- Vivaldi's Four Seasons (Spring and Autumn)
- Monti's Czardas
- 'Jupiter' from Holst's Planets Suite
- Celtic dances
We are also very privileged to have some very talented guest players from Cooma, Bega and Sydney! One of our guest players is a member of the Canberra Symphony Orchestra, and she will be performing Autumn and Czardas as a soloist with the orchestra!
You can watch a kind of preview to the concert here. We recorded this yesterday; it is Monti's Czardas played by Jessie Regan. If you want to hear the full orchestra version, come and listen to us on Saturday night!
It should be a great evening, and I hope you can make it!
