Letter from Ms. Mary (2/9)
Hey Philharmonia West,
Nice work at sectionals this week. We focused on the Bach and Vivaldi, working hard on the C#’s and G#s. It is hard to believe, but we only have two more rehearsals before our next concert. A special shoutout to the second violins for their excellent work and improvement this week!
Our next rehearsal will not be at the Edina Senior Center. We are meeting at Hopkins High School at our regular time. Please make sure to read through the weekly email for more information on this.
At our next rehearsal, we will focus on specific passages from the repertoire for our upcoming concert. Please take time to review each of these passages before next week:
- Tchaikovsky March; measures 69 to the end
- Turbulence; measures 48 to the end
- Bach; measures 37-46
- Vivaldi; measures 41 to the end
Cellos, do you remember what the challenge was? I think it involved cartwheels…
Question of the week: Who can you share your music with this week? Once you have answered that, go and do it! Send your answers to mary@gtcys.org.
I love our Monday rehearsals and appreciate the work, energy, effort, and personality each of you bring to our rehearsals. Have a great week.
Work hard, play hard.
