Hi everybody,
I’m grateful to Adam Eccleston for working with you last Sunday, and I’m excited to hear that good progress was made on Amir’s piece as well. I expect to be back this Sunday, and we will also have a couple of special guests.
Also, please triple-check your calendars so you have all of our upcoming weeknight rehearsals: 6/13, 6/14 and 6/15, 7pm-9:30pm at All Saints. I will publish the rehearsal order for all those rehearsals on Tuesday next week.
Happy practicing,
Dr. G.

Hi everybody,
I hope you had a wonderful extended weekend. Now it is time to change gears as we approach concert week!
As a few of you know, I had repair surgery on my Achilles tendon last week. I’m recovering well but I won’t be able to be at rehearsal this weekend. I need to be still and keep my foot elevated as much as possible until stitches come out and I’m put in cast on June 7th. So, the wonderful Adam Eccleston will be subbing for me this Sunday, and Amir will take the last portion of rehearsal to work on his piece.
Happy practicing,
Dr. G.

Hi everybody,
We’re done with sectionals for the season. I look forward to working with the full orchestra this Sunday. Please note that this Sunday is our annual open house. It’s a great chance to invite friends to come check out what MYS has to offer. Send them this registration/information link.
Happy practicing,

Hi all,
Because we’re working with dancers, it’s crucially important that we stick to the tempi of the recordings they have been using for their choreography and rehearsals. Below are those tracks.
Note: the 2nd movement of Apocryphal Dances will be an instrumental feature (no dancers).
Contents:
- Bunch: Apocryphal Dances
- Quesada: El Niño de Isabel
Best,
Dr. G.
