15-12-2025 - Christmas Concert with the Youth/Amateur Symphony Orchestra
Programme:
Overall the concert went very well. I think I played well, and the other woodwinds were mostly great as well. Our 2nd clarinet is always very quiet, and we always look a bit stupid since we have 7 flutes, which participation is varying. Our oboe is getting increasingly better, having some great parts in Nielsen, our bassoon were amazing in especially Gade, where she had some prevelant parts, I was both relieved and amazed that I could actually play through the entire concert without problems. I normally have problems with my ambrochure after a while, but my solo in Suppe, the rather confusing themes in Gade and the solo parts in Heister. To be honest, I did let the trumpets carry Anderson, but overall I think I did surprisingly well.
Our concert master was unfortunately absent, so our conductor had to contact an old friend of her to stand in for him. Luckily, he was an experienced violinist (he has played in the local ensemble) so everything worked out. Even the acoustic in the church we played in were surprisingly decent.
