2016 Mid Year Concert and Workshop Recordings
This site now has its first recordings from 2016:
We have also filled in a decade of older concert and workshop recordings. These may be on their own pages within the Galleries.
From the Conductor – June 2016
Thanks to all LYCO members, from the start with the Brass Ensemble to William Tell, what a good concert.
I know you will all have moments that you wish had been different but that is the life of a musician. What impressed me and made me so happy about this concert is that the line of the music spoke. The music wasn’t interrupted by transitions that didn’t quite work or wrong notes, it was carried by the exquisite things that did work. That makes conducting so fun, pieces are cohesive so I can work with the music, not just hold the orchestra together – the orchestra does that itself by its knowledge of the music. It was just such a good concert.
Fantastic work in the Piccolo Strings. I loved the energy of the pieces Virginia chose and the ensemble was so good. Such a good start to any orchestral program to have that excitement.
2016 Winter Orchestra Workshop – Preparation
If you have signed up for the 2016 Winter Orchestra Workshop, now is a good time to:
- Make sure you possess everything on page 1 of the Information Sheets.
- Download and print your part of the Beethoven Symphony No. 2 from the Winter Orchestra Workshop Sheet Music page.
- Know when to leave your house to arrive at Camp Clayton between 5:00pm and 6:30pm.
2016 Mid Year Concert
Highlights will include the Intermezzo Strings playing movements from Peter Warlock’s “Capriol Suite” and the Launceston Symphony Orchestra playing the Overture to “William Tell” by Gioacchino Rossini.
Frequent concert guests may recognise the “Sixteen Sensations” by Australian composer Stephen Chin. Pieces from this collection have appeared at the Residential Summer String Camp in 2012, 2015 and 2016, and the LYCO 2015 Mid Year Concert and 2015 End of Year Concert. At the 2016 Residential Summer String Camp, the Preludio Strings played the first sensation, “Gecko Echo”. Now, at this concert, the Piccolo Strings will for the first time perform the final two sensations, “Bubbles” and “Fiddle Stick Fury”.
