At the end of last month, our MYSO 1 and MYSO 2 students enjoyed a fantastic workshop, filled with intensive rehearsals, musical learning, and plenty of fun! ๐ป
The workshop provided students with the opportunity to work closely with their conductors, develop their ensemble skills, and connect with fellow musicians from across the program. ๐ต
MYSO 2 explored a range of contrasting repertoire, challenging students to extend their musical skills and versatility across different styles. ๐
MYSO 1 also worked on contrasting pieces and finished the day with a lively performance of 'Funkytown'. Students learned this piece for the very first time during the workshop, alongside refining other repertoire they had been preparing. They were joined in performance by Dane on drums and Mitchell on saxophone, a talented student from a local high school. ๐ท๐ฅ
Before the concert commenced, Mitchell also entertained the audience with a selection of tunes and improvised performances, setting a wonderful atmosphere for the afternoon. ๐ต
The day culminated in a free concert for family and friends, showcasing all the hard work accomplished throughout the workshop. Our students and conductors had a fantastic day, and we are incredibly proud of what was achieved. ๐งก
Well done, MYSO 1 & MYSO 2!๐
