Sinfonietta - Styres Rally
Emailed on Wed 2/10/10
Hi all,
Elizabeth Kirkpatrick found this... she says it might come in handy (I agree!):
I found a download of Styres' Rally here. Thought it may come in handy.

Here's the other link from the music publisher:

Those of you who missed sectionals today (there were a lot of sick and contracted kids, but quite a few 'oops I forgots' too) please make it a point to listen to one of these recordings and practice your part - at least the beginning thru 13 and 56 to the end.
Happy practicing!
~Ms S.

If you'd like to get in on this great deal (not many times you'll have the opportunity in life to see Pinchas Zukerman or Midori for such a low price!!!!), please email your request to Ms. Silberman (silberman_daryl@salkeiz.k12.or.us) or have students place the order in class. Orders must be in by February 10 - payment can come before the concert.
2) On Sunday Feb. 14, the Salem Community Concert Assoc. has their annual Chocolate Sunday fundraiser. More chocolate than you could possible imagine, and some lovely music to boot (members of Chamber Orchestra and Sinfonietta will play chamber music pieces and maybe a few other selections) - all for whatever donation you'd like to make at the door. At 3pm, the organist for the Elsinore will perform and lecture about the Mighty Wurlitzer - if you've never heard it, it's quite a treat! Hope you can come to this worthy fundraiser... and enjoy some chocolate.
Students who will be performing that event, please wear your concert black and be prepared to arrive about 1:30... you'll be done by 3 when the organist performs, but you really should stay to hear that performance - maybe he'll show us the organ loft again... that was really cool last year!
3) The Chamber Music concert on Feb. 2 was a grand success - I heard great comments from parents, members of the public who wandered in, and the faculty guest performers. Thanks to one and all for such a special evening! If you're interested in seeing the student videos of their performances from finals, you can go to our video webpage on YouTube - www.youtube.com/user/titanorchestras - click on "see all" under "Uploads" to see all 19 video options.
4) Symphony will have a few Thursday rehearsals to accomodate director schedules, and to prepare for the Carlos Kalmar clinic coming in March. Please take note on the updated calendar that has gone home.
5) All students have received an updated semester 2 calendar. Parents are expected to sign the half sheet to make sure the dates get on to calendars and to make sure that everyone's receiving these communication emails. If there are any conflicts or issues that come up as you peruse the revised calendar, please contact Ms. Silberman sooner rather than later. It's going to be a busy, but musically rewarding second semester! Thanks for staying on top of everything!

Fee for camp will only be $40 - this includes some dynamic performances, snack, and any other materials that are needed. This is a mandatory camp - all students participating in the 2010-2011 orchestras are expected to attend - this allows for all students to reconvene after a summer off - to get their hands on their instruments and re-adjust to group orchestral settings, before the craziness of the new school year kicks in. Of course, as always, Ms. Silberman will handle issues that come up on a case-by-case basis (like marching band, soccer and other sport camps, and family vacations), but do please keep in mind that I announce this camp in February to give families a lot of time to make plans to help ensure that all musicians can make it to this important Boot Camp.

Tuesday Feb. 2 "An Evening of Chamber Music"
Tuesday Feb. 2 "An Evening of Chamber Music"
Hi students and parents,
The results of this chamber music unit have been great - I think you have done an amazing job getting these pieces ready for performance. So, we're going for the long concert - all students will perform! All together, the music is about 80 minutes long - so, if we have quick transitions on and off, we should be able to get our portion of the concert over in just over an hour and half. Then we have the Oregon String Quartet performing for us at the end of the concert - what a great way to end a concert!
Students - please come Monday at 11am. We will run through the program in order (see below) complete with how you enter and how you bow at the end. If one member of your group cannot attend, come anyway - you need to run through your program to get you 'nervous' for Tuesday evening.
Tuesday night - you (students) need to be to the Downtown Salem Public Library (in between Commercial and Liberty just south of downtown) by 5:30pm. You need to wear your school performance black (except Journey group - you may wear jeans and your cool t's). Concert will start on the dot at 7pm.
Parents - I'm sorry about the Monday daytime rehearsal - when I first planned this concert the calendar didn't have Monday as a day off - we would have done this during the school day had their been school. But, I'm uncomfortable with students not running through their material on a stage before playing this on Tuesday... I hope this doesn't completely ruin everyone's day off (if you have it off).
Concert Tuesday evening... Loucks Auditorium is a lovely place to have a concert - perfect for Chamber Music. The concert will begin promptly at 7pm and should be over 9pm or soon there after - what a great night of music it will be! The concert is free - donations to Music Boosters will gladly be accepted. You will have the honor of hearing one of Oregon's premiere chamber groups play after the students are done.
Here's the line up:
Jesu (Might not perform)
St. Antoni Chorale
Summer Waltz (Might not perform)
Handel Air
Bach Gavotte
Lucio Silla
Farandole
Brandenburg Concerto #3
Don't Stop Believing
Emperor Variations
Haydn Op 64 #5 Finale
Onslow Quintet
Haydn Trio
Bass Quartet (Trio)
Handel Passacaglia
Lux Aeterna
Haydn Op. 77 #1
Telemann 4 violin concerto
Students - see you Monday. Parents - see you Tuesday!
