Fresh from the Southwark Schools Spring Sharing, the Southwark Youth Orchestra took part in the Music for Youth regional festival on Saturday 5/03/11, again at the Southbank Centre in London. The Orchestra played a blinder, obviously relishing another opportunity to play 'live'. Well done to everyone for their dedication and hard work and thanks to the back room staff, including parents, for making it all possible.
These are a few of the comments received from the Music for Youth mentors on the day:
"You carried us along with your scintillating performance" Mentor – MFY
TAKE FIVE
“Great start – eye catching – original – good way to get everyone on stage in an interesting way. (Well done violinist soloist) Well done percussion section – nice and even and precise. Our feet were soon tapping with your enthusiastic playing – well done cellos – you did a great job.”
“A terrific opening – unusual, musical, original – percussion – be sure you can hear the violin solo all the time. Nice arrangement of this classic. All watching your conductor."
Jamaican Rhumba
“Excellent start – dance like and jaunty – Well done kit – Very well done”
“Lots of Caribbean sunshine here – you’re playing with joy and we can hear it! Hurrah for the crescendo – it makes a big difference – you managed the changes of tempo well – they add interest to the performance – fun to see you moving. You’ve worked very hard on this and it shows – A terrific orchestra – well done”
