Well, actually, they “classics!”, but that’s not so catchy. 🙂
Two more successful concerts under our belts. Friday was a better space to play in, but Saturday seemed to have better sound (despite my early misgivings about the hall having too much reverb). In particular, it was easier to hear how good the choir was on Saturday. Walter Babiak attended both performances, which was quite an honour. His Movin’ in My Heart was received well, given its complexity, and I do believe we may end up with a CD’s worth of music worth listening to. Well done everyone! As usual, I am in awe of the skills that our players have, and continuously surprised that they haven’t kicked me out for being such a duffer. <g>
The next concert will be a “Pops” concert, Friday, February 10 and Saturday, February 11, 2006. The program is still being discussed, but there should be lots of nice stuff, just in time for Valentines Day. 😉
After that, we’re playing Friday, May 5 and Saturday, May 6, 2006. I’ve already got the music for that show. On the program is:
- Wolfgang Mozart – Overture to the opera “The Magic Flute”
- Johannes Brahms – Variations on a Theme by Joseph Haydn
- César Franck – Symphony in D minor
Time to start practicing!
