Masterworks week 2009

That's our Masterworks performance week wrapped up, and what a week it was. James MacMillan's Tryst certainly got a good outing with the orchestra, just check out the reviews! We kicked off on Monday in Edinburgh with a public performance at the Queen's Hall. Paul Rissmann was on form with his fabulously slick presentation, demonstrating extracts from the work with the orchestra led by James Lowe. Tuesday was a performance for schools coming together from Edinburgh and Fife and then we all headed north to Aberdeen. Wednesday saw schools coming to the Aberdeen Music Hall from Moray and Aberdeenshire, and what a treat for their travels. The Music Hall is certainly a lovely venue for a performance such as this. Next up was a journey across the country to the West of Scotland - the Grand Hall in Kilmarnock was our final destination for the Thursday. It was great to see over 400 pupils from East and South Ayrshire at this performance. So now that we've introduced over 950 pupils to the concepts of 'modern' music, what's our next challenge for 2010.........
