The Bardi Symphony Orchestra held their annual Workshop on Saturday. Conducted by leader Adam Summerhayes, the players enjoyed a very rewarding day getting to grips with Prokofiev’s Symphony No.5.
The idea of the day was to rehearse a challenging work that the orchestra had not done before which concluded with an exciting complete run through of the 45 minute symphony. The workshop was held in Holy Trinity Church on Regent Road in Leicester, a familiar venue to the Bardi and the staff were, as always incredibly helpful.
It was also a social day for the players who enjoyed a nice lunch together and afterwards there was general agreement that a good day of music making had been had by all. A small group of supporters of the orchestra who had watched the run through were very complimentary and said they couldn’t believe that they had witnessed such a polished performance given such a short rehearsal time. Here’s to the next one…
