String Orchestra
Thank you for some wonderful sight-reading last rehearsal. Now, you have a lot of pieces in your folder, so here's the breakdown of when we are going to play them.
Retreat
Bellingrath Gardens- Violins and Violas work on the new bowings
Ode to Joy- Dynamics!!!
Hungarian Dance No. 5 (maybe)
Engines of Resistance- you play this so well, BUT, there could be more P, mp, mf
Tam Lyn- please look over so we can play it
Circinus- I know, I know, but it sounded so beautiful, we have to play it again
Halo 3- more aggressive, especially at the end, don't lose tone, more bow weight
Spring Concert
Mozart Symphony No. 40
Hungarian Dance No. 5
Others t.b.a
Here's a conundrum for next week. We played 3 strings at one time (chord) for the Hungarian Dance. How would you play all 4 strings at one time?? Whoever comes up with the answer will get a prize! Creativity counts...

Pasadena Youth Symphony Orchestra
The Pasadena Youth Symphony Orchestra has continually offered robust musical training and personal development for young musicians throughout the San Gabriel Valley for over 40 years (1972). PYSO is considered among the best youth orchestras in the Southland. The PYSO is comprised of middle school students from grades six through nine. These committed young people receive advanced instruction and challenging music opportunities through a rigorous program that emphasizes ensemble playing. Members of the PYSO have performed throughout the world, including venues in Vienna, New York’s Carnegie Hall, the ASTA Conference and Competition in Santa Clara and many others. Last season, the PYSO appeared in concert with the United States Air Force Academy Band, Blue Steel at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. Members of PYSO have also had many opportunities for additional performances outside the full orchestra program such chamber music at Pasadena Symphony concerts and a special guest appearance on Fox’s TV sensation, Glee. PYSO falls under the auspices of the Pasadena Symphony Association and often interacts with Pasadena Symphony and POPS conductors, guest artists, musicians and staff.
