OWMS AND GOHS STRINGS
FALL HARVEST CONCERT
2022/2023

OWMS Combined String Orchestra
Rite at Stonehenge by Elliot DelBorgo
This charming piece works on creating great opportunities for tone control, working in a minor key and having clear, distinct parts between our sections. This has been one of our favorites.
String Crossing March by Lynne Latham
Though this piece uses the first set of notes we EVER learned, it is not for the faint of heart. It creates many opportunities for complex coordination patterns AND rhythm fighting across our orchestra. Again, this piece promotes section independence and reading vs. ’ ear following’ playing. This piece has been a challenge but we feel we are up to the fight!
Dark Visions by Kevin Mixon
We will be starting this piece with the last idea of the other piece. The cello and bass will get us up to speed to delve into Kevin Mixon’s dark and experimental ideas about string orchestra. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
