A Message from the Maestro:
|
Hope everyone is having a great summer. We are just over a month away from starting rehearsals on some of the most exciting music written by Russian masters. These works are huge. They are not only fun to play, but are favorites of all types of music lovers.
Preparatory and Youth Orchestras, listen to the recordings on
Spotify,
download the music from Dropbox,
and get pumped up to play these fantastic compositions!
Youth Strings will receive their music at rehearsal.
Please let your friends know that we still have space for double reeds, violas, basses and trombones. Looking forward to getting started. See you soon.
Mr. Benson
