“In many ways, this past Monday’s rehearsal was the first put-together for Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 [for the Fall Concert on November 14]. We had sight read it together in the first couple of rehearsals but had not worked on much detail. I was astonished by how fast the orchestra had improved compared to when I first heard them play. There was more fluidity and dynamics, and every part sounded clearer. That is what makes the PYP an intriguing group; the orchestra thrives on potential and the thirst to play better. The musicians gathered in the cafeteria of Jackson Middle School struggle, improve, and have fun. As both the orchestra and I head towards our November concert in full steam, I cannot help but smile and think, it’s going to be an electrifying concert.”
