Wichita Youth Symphony Orchestra Fall 2009!

After a busy rehearsal weekend,
Sara, Anna, Jordan and Kayla,
all performed in their Fall
orchestra concert this Sunday
afternoon. It was a great
concert and the kids did a beautiful job. Here is a list of the pieces that each group performed.

I hope to have video uploaded as soon as I figure out how to convert
my VOB files, but for now, here are some photos of the evening.
First on the schedule was Kayla with the Chamber Players.

For those of you who could not attend, Kayla is sitting
on the front row, 2nd from the left. Her group
played "Rondo Round-up", "Chant-Formations",
"Egyptian Legacy", and a beautiful arrangement of the
familiar hymn, "It is Well with My Soul" by Philip Bliss.
Next on the program was Jordan playing in the Repertory
Orchestra. He is sitting on the front row 4th from the right.
His group played the following pieces:

Symphony #4 in B-flat, Op 60.........................Beethoven

Carmen: Suite....................Georges Bizet

And then the Youth Symphony played with Sara and
Anna. Sara is sitting on the front row, 3rd from the
right. To find Anna, look at the front row, the first
chair on the right, and go one row directly behind him.
They played an exciting program that included:

Euryanthe: Overture................Carl Maria von Weber

Symphony #9 in E Minor

"From the New World...........................Antonin Dvorak

The kids received a standing ovation for their performance!
It was an exciting evening after a semester of hard work.
