Mr. Yokota also highlights some fun pieces they will be playing, St. Paul’s Suite by Gustav Holst, and Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber.
Mr. Yokota says, “The Chamber Orchestra is doing one of the fun pieces that they’re doing, it is called the St. Paul’s Suite by Gustav Holst. And we’ll be doing the Barber Samuel, Adagio for Strings.”
Mr. Yokota welcomes guests to the Orchestra Fall Concert on October 30th at the L.J. Williams Theater.
Yokota says, “Come on out, it should be a nice, good night of music.”
Redwood student Spencer Cook, ’29, who is playing in the Fall Orchestra Concert for the first time, shares what he expects.
Cook says, “I feel like some expectations we have is to blow the audience away with our good sounds.”
Another student playing in the Orchestra Fall Concert, who has played in the Fall Concert before, is Bianca Angelique Lumapas, ’27, who shares her piece on the upcoming Fall Concert as a returning player.
Lumapas says, “This one feels a little more special since we have a lot of seniors playing solos, so it’s definitely more heartfelt.“
Lumapas also says, “I think it will be really exciting, and I hope people come because we’ve been working pretty hard on it.“
