On Saturday, 2 June, we gathered at the Leo Arts Centre at Canadian International School for our Spring Orchestra and Chamber Music Concert.
Vivace and Allegro orchestras both played, conducted by Mr. Daniel, and assisted by some of our advanced violinists: Charlotte, Charmaine, and Mel. In Vivace Orchestra, it was the first-ever time that piano students had joined the orchestra! Evana, Ryan and Vivian served as the percussion section for one of the pieces, playing the sand blocks to mimic the sound of the trains.
Our seven chamber ensembles all performed the pieces on which they have been working this term with their coaches. Mr. Daniel, Ms. Ryoko, Ms. Sonomi and Ms. Yuko have been very dedicated to helping students grow as chamber musicians, working to increase their comfort and skill at communicating with one another in order to be able to play more musically together.
It was a great end to the orchestra and chamber music term, and we are all looking forward to next year!
Congratulations to all of the students and coaches on all of their work throughout the term!
