Very excited about the Hindemith =D The repertoire looks great for the next concert, good variety! Can’t wait to start playing it all on saturday
Thank you for your question Brendan. I wanted to write about it here, so everyone knows the process, but keep forgetting to do it.
No audition is needed; QYO2 members can express their interests here and I’ll see what is and isn’t possible. Secondly please note that any soloists and/or repertoire suggestions would have to be approved by QYO’s Artistic Director!
I really really really hope Der Freischutz gets approved, such awesome music and a massive clarinet solo for me :D
I’m interested in how principle players get picked to do concertos. Any clarinet concertos lined up or can we audition for a solo piece?
Toohey.
fantastic stuff, i love Symphonic metamorphoses of the themes, i cant believe we are playing this work its amazing!
Hi,
It looks like so much good repertoire, so much fun! Can’t wait to hear it at the concert!
Rosemary
No Shostakovich!! *sob* But, that was my only chance to play in QYO2 this year, and it’s a really cool piece! I’m devastated!
On the brighter side; K447, Alex solo! :D
Shosta 7 got cut… I may just cry
For the work by an Australian composer, we should do one of Miriam Hyde’s orchestral works. Or perhaps selections from John Anthill’s ‘Carroboree’!
Haha, we should SOOOO play the Danzon No.2 by Arturo Marquez!! At least just for that last informal concert, it isn’t that tricky at all!
Wow!
Some great repertoire lined up for this year.
I’m so jealous!
I can’t wait to hear the concerts.
I’d love to hear QYO2 playing the Berlioz. That would be fantastic.
Also… if you ever need another violinist for anything, let me know. I’d be happy to augment. :)
For repertoire how about the flute concerto written for Alexa Still by Anthony Ritchie? UQ orchestra performed it with an honours student playing the solo in I think 2005.
we should do the whole nutcracker ballet :p
with dancers and everything haha …
no but seriously …
i want dancers :p
Some of this repertoire looks great!
Can’t wait to start the year with Tchaikovsky Symphony 5, it should be very exciting.
I hope that Shostakovich 7 gets aproved for concert 3; that would be a great piece for QYO2 to do this year (and it’s one of my favourites).
I look forward to another great year of QYO2 in 2009!
Oh no, West Side got cut??? a thousand years mourning…
Epic win if Berlioz is included… lets do it!!
Wow, this looks really exciting. We get to start the year of with two of my favs XD! It’s a bit disappointing that West Side Story didn’t make it through. I wouldn’t be much help in suggesting, there’s really too much stuff to dream about. Ummm…that Mahler 1 we did in 2006 was absolutely stunning and …just, wow, seeing that 3’s gone, what about 9? And also perhaps, Borodin Prince Igor Overture or the Polovtsian Dances? Realy looking forward to another exciting year of QYO2!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Everyone, and have a safe and wonderful break!!!!!
Yes, the Berlioz ^^
Berlioz - Symphonie Fantastique! :)
I vote for West Side Story!!!
Hello Brendan -
I am glad that you have accepted the principal position and thank you for your suggestions. Have a good Christmas and I’ll see you next year in QYO and hopefully QWO.
Hey Sergei!
Thats my repertoire suggestion list from camp 08! Haha, I’m glad to see they’re being considered, I do realize just how difficult these works are. I look forward to seeing you next year as principle clarinet in QYO2 as Melissa has moved up to QYS and hopefully for another concert season of the QWO?
Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year :)
Brendan.
