Admittedly our blogging and updating has been slow, but this is soon to change! We have all made it back to our respective states after an interesting and rather busy summer. Two marriages, a New Hampshire and Vermont mini-tour, two weeks of music camp and many meetings later- we are ready to begin our 2009/2010 season!
Stay tuned and make sure to follow the blog to keep up with our latest posts. TABOR is now on the move.......
TABOR Summer - Part 1
------------------------------
During the month of July we had the pleasure of returning to the Upper Valley area of New Hampshire for a series of concerts and workshops.
We performed at the beautiful St. Gaudens Historic Site, one of our favorite venues. Sculptor and artist Augustus St. Gaudens lived and worked here....a truly inspiring location for our first performance in UV.
For our next event we were off to Norwich, VT (yes, the home of King Arthur Flour!) where we offered a workshop for instrumentalists and ensembles at St. Barnabas Church.
It was great time with a really wonderful collection of musicians of all levels. The main theme of the day seemed to be intonation and ensemble communication. The workshop ended up culminating in an admirable sight-reading session with all of the participants and an enthusiastic discussion of how to have more fun during performances.
That evening was followed by an orchestra play-in coordinated by our dear friend and conductor Bob Mark. And of course, we can't forget the delicious potluck meal we shared before getting to work. The orchestra did a fantastic job with Haydn's Clock Symphony and we look forward to more of these events very soon!
Until then, TABOR eagerly awaits our return to the Upper Valley.......
