Home!

I'm finally home after a long two months filled with lots of music and lots of orchestra experience. It's really amazing how much repertoire we covered in such a short amount of time, considering the fact that we're a music "camp," not a professional orchestra. Here's the list of rep we did on concerts alone...that doesn't include other readings.

Barber: Overture to The School for Scandal

Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 in F Major

Berlioz: Les Troyens; Royal Hunt and Storm

Bizet: L’arlésienne, Suite No. 1

Bizet: L’arlésienne, Suite No. 2

Brahms: Symphony No. 2 in D major

Britten: The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra

Debussy: Petite Suite

Dvorak: Symphony No. 8 in G Major

Haydn: Symphony No. 87 in A Major

Hindemith: Symphonic Metamorphoses

Mozart: Symphony No. 40 in G minor

Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Major

Schumann: Piano Concerto in A minor

Smetana: Overture to The Bartered Bride

Strauss, R.: Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks

Stravinsky: The Firebird Suite

Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D Major


Wow that's a lot...and it's really hard, too. We're not talking arrangements of Bach concertos, we're talking rep that you would hear at any concert by any professional orchestra.
