Just a reminder about the YSSO Alumni Concert which will be held
tomorrow evening, Tuesday, Dec 18, 7:30 PM at the Craterian Theater in
Medford. This is a first-time event for the Youth Symphony of Southern
Oregon to celebrate their 25th Anniversary. See current YSSO students
and distinguished alumni share the stage for around a one-hour show
(perfect length for students!). Purchase tickets which include the
reception if you would like to hang out with us and eat some great food
afterwards.
I will be featured on viola as a soloist along with my best friend from
childhood, Joanna Martin on flute. The music is Ernst Bloch's
Concertino, a lovely neo-classical work from a 20th Century composer.
Bloch lived his later life in Agate Beach, Oregon, and wrote this piece
there.
To my students: yes, being featured as a soloist means standing in
front of the orchestra in a fancy dress and playing my own part - it is a
big deal. Come if you can!
