Back on November 2nd, Helena had her Fall orchestra concert. I have to be honest, Helena's orchestra class has a lot of inexperienced players this year, so the sound was a bit raw. She played well, though, and I always enjoy hearing her!
The Chamber Strings class followed immediately after her class (the Concert Orchestra), which I thought was not very sporting of the teacher. How better to highlight the awkwardness of the newer players than to put them back to back with the very best players in the school? The Chamber Strings group was phenomenal! My favorite piece of the evening was Vivaldi's Spring, from the Four Seasons.
Helena doesn't currently plan to continue with orchestra class next year, though I hope she doesn't give up entirely. I sort of hope she decides to take a class or two in college. I love the violin for it's beautiful tone, and its compact portability. She can take it with her to college much more easily than a piano.
