Hello Musicians,
Great first rehearsal! I heard some very lovely things happening last night. Everyone should listen to the Beethoven Allegretto. You can go to www.jwpepper.com. Type in Beethoven Keiser Allegretto and you should see a mp3 button. Press that and enjoy.
Please look over your pieces. Notice the pencil marks you put in (hopefully you have many). What do the majority of your marks remind you to do? Is it intonation, dynamics or articulation?
Seating will depend on your preparation and your attention during rehearsals. Also, there will be more formal challenges later on. Ask me about this during rehearsal.
Joseph and Natalie, great job! You played so confidently that you each sounded like 4 instruments. If you know any string bass or violas, please invite them to join us or they can email me directly: annalim603@hotmail.com
Thanks Everyone for a wonderful start!
Anna Lim, conductor

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.
