December 9, 201015 yr Hi everyone! These are videos of the concert my orchestra (New Jersey Youth Symphony, Group Sinfona (Grades 5-8)) played. Please tell me how you think our orchestra did! Thanks! P.S they're doing my arrangement of Ma Mere L'oye by Ravel on their next concert!!! Heckel
December 9, 201015 yr There is an art crisis in Newfoundland, and my high school is suffering. So I would not bother posting those videos here.
December 10, 201015 yr There are some tuning and intonation issues (It is very significant in the upper strings section) as well as some articulation. I am missing a pleasant sound; now some parts aren't as bad as others. Overall more practice is needed not in the sense of the notes but sound and tone that is being crafted by every single player from their instrument. Keep it up and keep practicing. :) Good Luck --- Bartosz Thiede
December 14, 201015 yr Second baartek's assessment. I think too it just will take some time for the players to develop that on their own as well as adjusting to matching overall tone --- some of it should be done by the conductor. But keep up the work!
April 6, 201114 yr Considering the general age of the musicians, I say they did reasonably good work :happy: .
