Tonight's concert went rather well considering we only spent about 5 days preparing for it... especially our septet, "Deep in the dense forest" which had been quite a challenge in terms of coordination and we only had like 2 practice sessions before the actual performance... thank goodness it went smoothly!
The finale was of course the piece which have won them the G.W.Hons. award at this yr's syf.. it's entitled 'A Glimpse of Taklamakan, Op. 38', 2nd movt- Mirage. It has that kind of arabic feel, with the ever changing time signature esp that part with 5/8, definately not an easy piece.. It was a thrill for us alumnis to sightread at concert speed.. haha! After all these years, I can say I'm proud to be part of tjco.. there is the passion and musical element there that made the practices and performances very enjoyable, especially the week before concert.. whoa I can just feel myself floating and touched in our music
The pno. concerto was rather disappointing though, considering where she studied the inst., shant elaborate any more here
