Hi Sinfonia East!

I am so proud of your work at rehearsal this week. We made amazing progress on the B section of Cumberland Cross and on the opening of the Finale from Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 2.

Practice for next week

Before next week, please ensure you are familiar with the notes and rhythms for the following sections:

• Strommen (Cumberland Cross) measures 1 through 25
• Tchaikovsky letter S to the end

General reminders and announcements

• Thank you for your promptness last week. Keep arriving early so that you are ready to play at 6:30 sharp!

Challenge for the week

Tchaikovsky’s second symphony has a nickname. Can you find out what this nickname is, and explain where this name came from? Email me your response by Monday.

Go make music and go change the world!
