UMP Orchestra Group

From the dicussion here, I was wondering if we should have a monthly recital.

Mechanism:

1. Only new performers can take part.
2. Monthly recitals; venue will depend on the situation.
3. Duration: 0.5-1hr, depends on the content
4. Content: free theme; any song goes as long as it's appropriate.
5. Each section will have to present a piece, either solo/duet/trio/quartet/etc or combined.

Purpose:

1, To train new performers on stage.
2. To add more performers to the group.
3. To share music with audience (UMP community)

So any suggestions about this? Perhaps this will begin next sem, I think it's abit late to prepare it this sem Smile

i have a suggestion.
Maybe we can let old player also join in the performance. Like one old performer with 3-4 new performers to form 1 group to perform. How? Laughing

Well Monsiuer Ban Sheng, I would be happy to watch you perform for us Laughing

To all new performers, we can select easy songs for them, then they pick & work on that song for 1 month before they perform... Wink

from 30 min to 1 hour?

how many song that will be play?

It depends. In that recital, there's suppose to be 1 performance from each section, or combined performance.

So if there's 5 min a song, & there's violin, wind, guitar, keyboard & drum, I'm thinking 3-4 performances; that's about 20-30 min...1 hr is too long hahahah unless you calculate the time for setting up etc :p
