Solo & Ensemble

Here is the schedule for this weekend's Solo & Ensemble competition. All time slots are final and cannot be changed. Room assignments will be posted as soon as possible. Please make sure to arrive at Grant at least a half hour before you time slot to check in and warm up. We will have a short mandatory meeting on Friday after school to go over the procedures for the day. We will also be helping to set up and arrange the performance rooms. Parents feel free to come by and watch your students perform, it's always great to have a fan in the audience. Students: Keep going over your music everyday and please come by and see me to get help working on your piece. Good luck!

Beethoven's 9th Symphony Rehearsal

This weekend the Oregon Symphony and the Portland Symphonic Choir are performing Beethoven's 9th Symphony (Ode to Joy) and Benjamin Britten's Ballad of Heroes. Both are incredible choral/orchestral works and are definitely worth hearing. All of the tickets for the performances are sold out, however there is a dress rehearsal performance open to the public. The rehearsal is on Saturday (9th), at the Schnitz downtown and starts at 9:45am, doors at 9am. Tickets are only $20 and it's open seating in the lower balcony, where the sound and the view is the best. The rehearsal will be a wonderful opportunity for students to hear this remarkable music but also witness the rehearsal process of professional musicians and see what kind of choral opportunities are available after high school and college. I've posted the link to the symphony website where you can buy tickets ahead of time before they sell out as well.

Hope to see many of you there and enjoy the music!
