Spring 2010 Youth Orchestra Concert

Youth Orchestras presented their Spring concert this past weekend. It was a wonderful concert featuring all 3 orchestras as well as 2 soloists.

We began the concert with the Chamber Players. Kayla
enjoyed sitting Concert Master for this performance.

The program included:
Brandenburg Concerto #3.....Bach
Nocturne........Hofeldt
Mantras..........Meyer
Rondo in Blue......Longfield
Here are a few clips of their performance

Next on the program was the Repertory Orchestra.
Jordan is sitting on the front row, but because he is
still a bit short, we don't get to see him very well. :-)

Their performance included:
Cello Concerto.........Lalo
Soloist--Liann
Capriccio Espagnol.........Rimsky-Korsakov
Here is a condensed version of the Capriccio--

Finally, Sara & Anna, with the Youth Symphony
finished out the concert.
Youth performed the following pieces:
Hoedown from Rodeo.........Copland
Violin Concerto in E minor......Mendelssohn
soloist--Sarah Jane
Capriccio Italien......Tchaikovsky
Here is the condensed version of Rodeo:
(does this sound familiar Jake?) :-)

Finally, a much condensed version of
Capriccio Italien. Youth Symphony did a
fabulous job on this exciting piece, receiving
a standing ovation at the end. I had a
difficult time condensing it. Hopefully, I
can add some youtube links for those of you
that would like to see the pieces in their entirety.

It was a wonderful concert.
Great job kids!
Towards the end of the concert many scholarships
and awards were given out. Sara received a $300
scholarship from Simon McHugh Violin Shop. Anna
received a $150 award for being the string runner-up to
the Youth talent competition, and Kayla received a
camp scholarship to Chamber Music at the Barn!

For those of you that would like to see any of the pieces
in their entirety here are some youtube links to those
pieces. Keep in mind that these are home videos
recorded by parents. They are not perfect quality,
and they certainly feature our own children. :-)
