Hi everyone! It’s concert week!! I’m excited to work together this week for a thrilling concert on Sunday.
REHEARSAL RECAP (11/6)
- In the first half of rehearsal, you worked with guest conductor Deanna Tham on sections of the 1st and 4th movements of the Dvořák Symphony.
- In the second half, we worked together on movements 3, 1, and a bit of 4.
- REMINDER: don’t forget to practice what we did in the last rehearsal during the first half of your week. Then, after Tuesday, you can focus on what we’re doing at the next rehearsal.
