Moira Rader Rice, English horn, and Jaymes Klein, trumpet SOGO’s Jaymes Klein and Moira Rader Rice, both seniors at Olympia High School, have been working hard this year to prepare their featured parts in Aaron Copland’s Quiet City for today's concert.

else going on outside of Moira and I. There's nothing to hide behind, which can be a little unsettling. You have to be comfortable if you want it to sound beautiful and this piece asks a lot from you in that sense."

Moira says Quiet City "carries a mysterious emotional intensity to it. I love that I can visualize all the different characters in the city that are brought to life through the music."

“Moira and Jaymes are both thoughtful, introspective musicians, which makes Quiet City an ideal piece for them," says Music Director Cameron May. "I have no doubt they will say something profound through their performance."

Jaymes describes it as a really powerful piece.

"Listening to it and playing it almost seems to isolate you; it sounds very lonely and it conveys this sound through a pretty wide dynamic range. To me that's where musical power comes from. The ability to transcend elements like tempo, dynamics, style, etcetera and still sound and feel like one cohesive idea."

Jaymes plans to study music performance at Drake University in Iowa. Moira has not yet decided which college she will attend but plans to double major in music and psychology.

"Quiet City contains lots of long phrases that require control in both breathing and musical phrasing," says Moira. "Additionally, timing with the trumpet is hard because the ethereal quality to the piece distorts and conceals exactly where the beat falls."

Jaymes says the true challenge of the piece is "getting comfortable with the range of dynamics and style. Many of the solo lines are very exposed, meaning there is often not much
