Another great, if challenging rehearsal, with fantastic cake!!
Next week - second two songs in the Ravel, last movement of Rimsky-Korsakov and maybe some of the ballet.
I think!
Get practising!!!

[Edinburgh Symphony @EdinSymphOrch]

Good rehearsal this evening - with a clear message that we must all do more listening on YouTube!

Next week we will be rehearsing the Sheherazades - not sure why they're spelt differently...

Pizzicato - a sin of the flesh or a crime of the fingernails?
We’re not too sure this evening...

YouTube sometimes comes up with great memories - with the wonderful @worbeyfarrell

Great rehearsal tonight, mainly Grieg with a little glimpse at the symphony.

Tip for the day - pluck as if you mean it! Or at least look as if you mean it...

Next week - symphony and a spot of Kodaly!

See you all then!

Great rehearsal tonight, in which we explored the concept of homeopathic playing. Very useful for those quieter moments...

A reminder - no rehearsal next week, & we're back on Wed 23rd to rehearse the last movement of the symphony and the Grieg (maybe Kodály if time)

[Edinburgh Symphony @EdinSymphOrch]

Fab to see everyone at rehearsal yesterday - old & new players alike!!

The Programme for Concert 30th November:

Grieg's Symphonic Dances
Kodaly's Dances of Galanta
Sibelius Symphony No 5

What not to like?!
