One week to go until SCHOOL HOLIDAYS! I'm excited. I am looking forward to catching up on sleep, family and even some individual practice too.
Until then it's the end of term concert run.
Oklahoma was last week with Columba Collegiate. 3 nights of Beautiful Mornings performed (with a matinee thrown in to mix it up).
Today my student performed in a little solo concert. Well done Gideon! First concert - wahoo!! The first of many :) Thank you Lucy for getting up and playing. So sorry Desiree for giving you the wrong time. There will definitely be another opportunity to perform again!
Tomorrow is the Saturday Morning Music Classes Demonstration Concert. 300+ performers by the end with a rendition of Beethoven's Ode to Joy. What a sound!
Tuesday the Dunedin Youth Orchestra perform. Good luck Stephanie! Your Kabalevsky will be amazing! Looking forward to the Prokofiev Symphony too.
Thursday the 27th of September at 7pm, George St Normal School will be the Southern Sinfonia Academy's final concert of the year. They have worked hard! Strings will play a number of pieces including Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, Violin Concerto #2 by 10 year old Cameron Monteath (with correct spelling this time Cameron) and Prof. Teddy Bor's fantastic arrangement of McMozart. Imagine Eine Kleine Nachtmusik in Scotland. We then combine with the wind players for some film scores (Prince Caspian and Pirates), some Dragonfly and Gadfly and conclude the evening with Rosin Eating Zombies. If you survive there will be supper :)
Phew! As if that's not enough over the school holidays will be the final rehearsals and performances (9 or 10) of Dunedin Musical Theatre's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat at the Mayfair Theatre. Should be fun!
