First Orchestra
This is a string orchestra made up of children who are usually about grade 5 standard on violin and viola and grade 4 on cello. By this stage they should have a good degree of ‘instrumental’ knowledge in all the requirements for those grades. Many of the children here will have gained orchestral experience in the Intro and Prep First Orchestra.
This year we will play Bartok, Ballet Music from Schubert’s Rosamunde, exciting opera themes by Mozart and a surprise Jazzy number…
