Chamber Musicians Play for Us

musician-17-03-09

Today we were honored and delighted to listen to the sounds of Hayden and Gershwin, performed to us by a group of six classical musicians visiting from New York and Boston.  The ensemble included two violins, a viola and a cello from the string family and  a clarinet and a bassoon from the woodwind family.  Each musician talked to us about their instrument and how it makes its sound. They then went on to play a variety of solos, duets and ensembles.   To help explain the layers of music, they likened it to the layers of a pizza.  The bassoon was the crust, the viola the tomato sauce  and two violins were the pepperoni and the cheese!   So next time you order pizza don’t be alarmed if your children mention classical music and start playing an air violin!  We would like to thank all the talented musicians and also Tani Rydon and Amanyara Resorts for kindly bringing them to the school to share their wonderful sounds.
