We received so many cards and letters from students who thanked us for the last youth concert featuring Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Here is a sampling of what they said:
"Thanks for the chance to see and listen to a real orchestra. My favorite part as when everyone stomped their feet.” (Spring Movement of Vivaldi’s ‘Four Seasons.’) - Emily “Thank you for letting me and my class see and hear a real orchestra play. I really enjoyed the part when they were playing ‘Spring.’ I felt amazed by it because it had birds chirping in harmony with nature.” - Vincent “Thank you for letting me hear the sonnet. I really liked how everyone played their part and they didn’t get nervous. By listening to both Winter and Spring, I felt that I was in the music. I never had this experience before." - Alfi “I was so amazed by your string orchestra. The main thing you guys did was the thunder storm sound. The cello was my main thing I loved.” - Sara The students shared their reactions on their school blog site.
“It was amazing to see how much feeling the musicians put into their performance. I liked how all of the instruments came together to create different sounds for winter and spring.” - Khadiza Kubra, age 13 “I liked watching the expression on the face of the conductor. It was a great concert.” - Alphi Nashia, age 9 "I loved the cello because just hearing the sound, it felt relaxing to me." - SR 4th Grade "I loved the music! I feel like when I grow up, I want to become a flute player!" - LF 4th Grade "There was a lot of playing going on and there were a lot of instruments like the viola, violin, cello and the bass." -II 4th Grade |
