I was really upset this fall to discover that being involved in another performing group would prevent me from performing with the symphony this quarter. Luckily there are no hard feelings between me and the Symphony Officers, so they let me visit this week on the condition that I take some pictures and make a new blog post. So, here I am.
Last weekend, the Symphony had their first performance of the year, teaming up with Dr. Terry Spiller to play the first movement of Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A Minor to a very impressed audience. The group spent their rehearsal Tuesday focusing on another piece, Beethoven’s 7th Symphony.
The Symphony has filled out a bit this year, which gave them a great healthy sound. They have a big concert hall to fill with it!

I’m excited to see the results of their efforts! The big concert is Saturday November 19 at 8 pm in Harman Hall. You can buy tickets here.
The bass players have a lot of endurance! In addition to playing very large instruments, they stand through most of our two-hour rehearsals.
