An Evening of Inspiration!

October 30, 2008 at 6:33 PM

Sally O'reilly once said to me in a lesson "If you don't have intonation....you don't have anything!" Last night the Bermuda tour group possessed far more than just perfect intonation in their first formal program of their Michigan Tour. Last night's audience sat on the edge of their seats as the music resonated deep within the soul of the attendees. As one of the teachers on the tour I was able to detect that the prestige of our audience members helped to channel an impressive degree of focus from the young musicians. The group's ability to take the listeners through a variety of moods coupled with sophisticated dynamics lent to the program's professional feel. Throughout the evening after the performance they received accolades from all in attendance.

The Bermuda students performance was followed by the Ann Arbor group. Immediately the room was hushed by their deep soulful Ging sound. Each of their pieces possessed such a rich tone that continued the grandiose nature of the evening. The Bermuda students had a chance to see a high level of technical proficiency and some of the cathartic pieces in the violin repertoire. The two groups ended the concert together producing an ocean of sound.

After the concert the students gathered in the basement of the Church for a potluck dinner provided by the Ann Arbor group. The unity between the students was heartwarming. The evening can be summed up in a single word, inspirational!
