What
a fabulous musical presentation on Wednesday 12th November by
Edinburgh University Music Society in the Reid Concert Hall! Grateful thanks to
Ben Crabbe and Amanda MacLeod, President of EUMS, and all the talented musicians
for such a lively, informative and inspiring presentation. Our children
from P4A, P5A, P5B, P5C, P6A, P6C and P7B learned about all the
different instruments of the orchestra as each musician gave
demonstrations from each section of the orchestra - strings, brass,
woodwind and percussion - then played pieces highlighting each section.
We even had some interactive body percussion and Singing sessions, where
everyone joined in with the Orchestra and Choir, and an opportunity for
Rui to take a starring role conducting! Beautiful improvised Jazz
singing and piano playing and powerful singing from the Choir. From
Mozart to Calvin Harris and ending with Skyfall it was a joy to be a
part of and our children absolutely loved it! What fantastic role
models, who undoubtedly have encouraged our own musicians and inspired
more to get involved in music making. Thank you for making us so welcome
and for graciously getting involved with some clips for our BBC Music's
"God Only Knows" tribute. A delight!
