Letter from Ms. Mary (11/25)
Hey Philharmonia East,
EXCELLENT rehearsal this week. It was very obvious that individual practice was done at home this week. Thank you for your hard work both at our Tuesday evening rehearsals and at home.
Next week is our final rehearsal before our concert at Johanna Shores on December 9. The repertoire that we are playing on this concert is:
-
Accents
-
Chins and Pins
-
Turbulence
-
Sword Dance
-
Who Can Retell
-
Russian Dance
At our rehearsal next week, we will focus on Who Can Retell and Russian Dance. There are just a few passages in these two pieces that we need to continue our laser-focus woodshedding. These passages are:
-
Russian Dance: Rehearsal B-C and D-E
-
Who Can Retell: measures 41 to the end
I do hope that you have a wonderful week with family and friends. I also hope that you would spend a few extra minutes to play the passages listed above before our next rehearsal.
Next week we will have a combined break time with Sinfonia East. How fun to share our snack time/break with them!
I am grateful for each of you and for playing your part in Philharmonia East this year. See you next Tuesday.
Work hard, play hard.
