Luhacovice Rehearsals
July 22, 2018 in Czech Republic ⋅ 🌧 22 °C
We have arrived in Luhacovice and the KD Elektra Hall which will be the venue for our second concert.

Rehearsals of Mass in Blue for CYCh, Force of Destiny, Tuba Concerto and Cowboys for CYO. Both groups sound fab in the hall, it may not look like your typical theatre but it works!Read more
Traveler Loving the updates and the clips. I think tonight’s venue must be a Czech cousin of the Corby Cube!

Day 30
Luhacovice Concert 2
July 22, 2018 in Czech Republic ⋅ 🌧 20 °C
The CYO kicked us off for concert two with a superb performance of Verdi's Force of Destiny overture. Then Andy Johnson, sensational musician that he is, amazed everyone again by showing just how soloistic a tuba can be when in the hands of someone so good! The Vaughan Williams Tuba Concerto is fiendishly difficult in places (for soloist and orchestra!) but you wouldn't have thought it to listen, an extremely professional job. And to finish the orchestra gave us the wonderful music from the Cowboys by John Williams.

The concert has sparked the interest of the local media who are here filiming and reporting, and there's another very appreciative audience of over 100 who have come out to support the students; another plus is the venue has air conditioning!

An orchestra on top of its game now, goosebumps a-go-go (especially in the encore - Nimrod!) from a very proud sectional coach, well done Mr. Roper and the whole orchestra!Read more
Traveler Wow, fabulous as ever! ♥️

So I mentioned that only 60 second clips are permitted on Find Penguins (I believe colleagues are uploading longer clips and full performances on Facebook) and I have to apologise for the clip of the Force of Destiny as I think it basically stopped before the very final note?! As a submission for "most musically frustrating extract" I think it stands a chance - you'll all have to sing the last note yourselves!

The weather has taken a bit of a turn today and as you'll see from the shots as we walked back to the theatre from the restaurant it has been raining; although it's still very warm. The meal was NOT meat and chips, although unbelievably there was some indignation with this fact from some quarters, and "where's my meat and fries" could be heard being whispered...well I never!!

Instead it was good old spaghetti bolognese, which was very nice! Pudding was also the most sickly toffee profiterole that I've ever had, I managed about a quarter although Harry Nellis had no problems hoovering up my leftovers, and Sam A's..and Josh's...and Sam M's - it really was an impressive feat!

I also mentioned the media interest and was delighted when asked if I could do an interview for the local TV station to be able to say "I've got a MUCH better idea!".

Needless to say Richard and Beth were only too happy to help out!Read more

Luhacovice Concert 3

Following the CYO there was a quick stage reset and then CYCh along with soloists Brigith Benny and Millie O'Neil dazzled in Will Todd's Mass in Blue.

The choir are also absolutely on the top of their game at the moment and their performance was always soulful, beautiful and sensitive when needed and suitably jazzy throughout; Brigith and Millie also did an awesome job! The accompanying band of Yannick Bhatt on bass, Amy Dolphin on sax, Sam Mainard on kit and Andy 'is there anything this guy can't do' Johnson on piano played fantastically too, it was an amazing performance all round of a fabulous choral work, and the standards that are being achieved by CYCh are a real credit to themselves and to Beth...we can't wait for their next performance!Read more
Traveler Thank you so much - never knew what that tune was called :)
