Letter from Kaiser (12/11)

Winter Twilight, Wanda Gág, 1927

Thank you for a fun and important rehearsal tonight! We were missing quite a few members due to school concerts (a good reason), so I appreciate that everyone brought their A-Game and made it work! We have a concert on Sunday, here are the details again:

Concert Black Attire, with an optional holiday splash
1:00 Call Time
Roseville Lutheran Church
Give yourself extra time to tune, strings, it will be COLD!
We are playing, in this order: Ukrainian Bell Carol, Bright Lights, Romeo + Juliet, A Christmas Festival

This will be our last time together of 2025, so let’s make it count!

Looking ahead:
Ode to Childhood! Continue to listen to this piece and work through it in your own lessons.
Listen to Ode to Childhood
Winds/Brass/Percussion: Practice everything like it’s a solo! There are many exposed parts that require confidence and finesse!
Strings: Use a metronome! This needs to be in every practice session for Ode to Childhood.

New Spring Repertoire:
We have several new pieces headed your way! If you’d like to listen to them ahead of time, check out these options!
Espirit
Spanish Dance No. 3, this is a violin/guitar duet:
Lord of the Rings
(To hear and view the score, scroll down to Product Details, the score is in Sample Pages and there is an audio recording).

See you Sunday!

Best wishes,
Kaiser
