Concert Day Schedule

Saturday March 3 Schedule

Our dress rehearsal and concert are this Saturday at Logan High School. We are excited to perform there, and are grateful to the administration. They have made us feel welcome. In an orchestra setting, dress rehearsal really means "rehearsal on stage". You can bring your clothing and change after the rehearsal if you like. You may also want to brush up on the formal concert attire specifications, linked here, especially if you are new to the orchestra. Don't forget your black socks and black bow tie, men!

​Where:

​Logan High School Auditorium

162 W 100 S, Logan

When:

2 pm - Julie arrives, starts setting up. Helpers appreciated

2:30 pm - Call time for NUYS Dress Rehearsal

3:00 pm - 5:00 pm - Dress Rehearsal, Youth Symphony

4:30 pm - Call time for NUYCO Dress Rehearsal

5:00 pm - 6:00 pm - Dress Rehearsal, Chamber Orchestra

What to bring: 

A sack dinner, all your formal concert attire (or wear it!), a water bottle (only thing allowed in the auditorium), high energy and enthusiasm!

Who to invite:

All your friends, relatives, neighbors, leaders, teachers, and other folks who might enjoy a concert. It's going to be great!

Please share with them that we are interested in good audience etiquette.

The Northern Utah Youth Symphony and Chamber Orchestra will present their Mid-Winter Showcase on Saturday, March 3, 2018, at 6:30 pm at Logan High School Auditorium, 162 W 100 S, Logan, Utah 84321. Admission is free, thanks to our sponsors Mountain View Veterinary Health Center and Logan Music Academy.

The Northern Utah Youth Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Nathan West, will open the concert with Themes from the Moldau; Themes and Variations from Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 in A and Turkey in a Tux.

Continuing the concert, the Northern Utah Youth Symphony under the direction of Conrad Dunn will take the stage. Featured on the program will be movements from Dvorak's New World Symphony, music from the Titanic movie soundtrack, and a Haydn violin concerto performed by Kristene Murrow.

Kristene Murrow, age 14, is the daughter of Randall and Jenny Murrow from Howell, Utah. She is in the eighth grade and attends Bear River Middle School in Garland. Kristene began her violin studies at the age of 4. She has studied with Nonie Reesor, Sharon Kline, and currently studies with Diane Austin. Kristene’s first orchestral experience was with the Lincoln Youth Chamber Orchestra. She is currently a member of the Northern Utah Youth Symphony and has been so for the past 3 years. She also is a member of a performance chamber group, All Strings Attached, where she serves as concert-mistress. Kristene is expanding her musical abilities by playing viola in her school orchestra at Bear River Middle School.


Kristene has competed in many competitions and has received numerous honors and awards. She soloed with the Northern Utah Youth Symphony in 2014. Kristene has participated and received superior ratings in the ASTA String Festival for the past 10 years and was featured on the ASTA String Festival's Honor's Recital in 2009, 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018 at Utah State University and in 2013 and 2015 at Weber State University. Kristene enjoys playing the piano and guitar, and having jam sessions with family and friends. She likes to be in the outdoors hiking and camping, and enjoys nature photography. Other pastimes include reading and playing board games.

Announcements

Rehearsal Times

Starting this week (tomorrow) regular rehearsal will run from 8:30 am to 11:30 am, until further notice. With our upcoming performance schedule, this is necessary in order to do a good job with the difficult music we have chosen. Any changes will be announced and will also be reflected on the online calendar.

If you need to still leave at 11, please do so quietly and with minimal disruption. Thanks so much!

Tchaikovsky Cuts

The version of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto which we are playing from is slightly different from the version Natalie is playing. The following small cuts in our music are necessary. Please mark your music.

69 to 81

424 to 432

476 to 432

Next Concert Planning

If you have a conflict and will not be playing on March 3 at Logan High, please notify me immediately so we can make adjustments in the orchestra as needed. We have a few major conflicts that day, but hopefully the orchestra will be performance ready! :)

Abravanel Hall Questions

I have had a couple questions from new people about Abravanel Hall, so here's a run-down.

This is not a school sponsored field trip, but it is a school day (this year it's March 19). Please keep your grades up so no one has to miss!

We charter a school bus for the day, but you still have the option of providing your own transportation.

The schedule has not yet been published, but when it is, we will either be in the morning session (8 to noon) or the afternoon session (1 to 3 pm). We have requested afternoon, but will let you know the schedule for the day as soon as we know it, and get permission slips out as soon as possible. 

Parents or other family are allowed to come to the performance. There is a specific area in the auditorium set aside for spectators. 

Each orchestra has 30 minutes on stage, and also climbs the grand staircase for a picture after the performance. 

More details on all this stuff to follow, as soon as we have a schedule from the organizers.

Upcoming Concert: Sponsorship Drive

Sponsorship

The search is on, in earnest, for sponsors for our March 3 concert in Logan.

We have a super fundraiser, April Jones, on our board, and she is heading up the drive for sponsors. Please contact her if you have any leads or ideas. april.jones210@gmail.com, 435-740-1227.

This is what keeps our concerts free admission! We need to raise $425 per concert.

Thanks in advance for your ideas and help.

Lost & Found Crock Pot

One other note: Someone asked me about her crock pot, but I can't remember who it was. I have verified that Doris has your crock pot. Please let me know who you are so we can arrange a rendezvous. 

Have a lovely evening!

Our Christmas party is next week, December 16, right after regular rehearsal. Thank you to the one parent who already signed up to help!

We need more help:

People to commit to bringing something with protein. Otherwise it will be a sugar fest. The treats will be pot luck, so we need people to sign up to bring something with less sugar & more protein. Cheese & Crackers, a crockpot of meat balls, etc. 

People to help set up the lovely table and lay out the food. Doris brings supplies. We just need you to come help out! Helpers should arrive at 10 am.

People to commit to being around to take down and clean up. Helpers should be needed for this project around 12:30 pm.
