The sun shines, the birds and bees are busy and spirits are starting to lift again. There's that sense in the air that there are things to do.
This week I am helping Columba College with their production of Wizard of Oz. Back in the orchestra pit and back playing violin. I have discovered that I'm completely fine within the staff, however ledger lines are challenging as I prefer to read the notes in the alto clef. Hmmm...I think this means I am a fully-fledged viola player.
Next week, 20 September is the Southern Sinfonia's final subscription concert of the year. Brahms violin concerto with soloist Martin Risely and under the baton of Hamish McKeich. Final piece in the programme is Rachmaninov Symphony #2. It's a huge programme...but what a finish!
On top of that pupils are preparing to play in the Saturday Morning Music Classes Demonstration Concert in the Town Hall 21 September, and I have a string quartet that day - phew!!
Southern Sinfonia Academy's final concert of the year is Thursday 25 September at George St Normal School...and then I think the collapse in a heap for the first weekend of the school holidays may be on the cards!
It's been a busy term (hence the lack of posts) but lots happening, and lots more to look forward to.
Watch this space for Term 4 goodies :)
