That’s freaking awesome.
If I had to pick a favorite part of the evening, it would be the last piece – Mendelssohn Octet (1st and 4th movements), brilliantly played, with an oboist on the 2nd violin part and 5 music stands shared among 8 players.
As I understand it, the orchestra’s basses and cellos were already loaded onto a truck, so local musicians brought theirs to lend.
How does one get involved in the weekly chamber music jam at Silvio’s? Just show up with my instrument and maybe a music stand? – and/or some sheet music. How does this work?
Donna, there’s some info on the Ann Arbor Classical Revolution web page linked above, and also on the Facebook page, [link]
Yes, you can show up with your instrument and a music stand. If you know for sure that you’re going, try to let the organizer know (see the web page or Facebook for contact info). Bringing sheet music is optional — a good idea if there’s something in particular you’d like to do. Who plays what, and how much, depends how many people are there. (Musical chairs can happen between movements.)
Hope this helps!
Thank you, Susie. I’ll check it out
