Concert

We performed Nielsen’s second symphony in Melbourne with the Brevard Symphony Orchestra. I had never played the piece before then. I have to say it’s very nice, but there is too much tremelo in the viola part. He could have been a little more creative with the writing.
It was a lot of fun, though. We also played Cantus Arcticus (concerto for Birds and Orchestra) by Einojuhani Rautavaara.
Sibelius violin concerto in the middle rounds out the program..

It was a great experience to present music to the audience they had never heard. It made our jobs a lot of fun to find out how much they enjoyed the pieces.
