SPRING NEWSLETTER 2001
We hope everybody had a good mid-term break and we are all hoping the
dreaded foot-and-mouth disease keeps well away from us. Please use
the mats at the entrances to the schools until the crisis is over and
we will need to continue to be vigilant for many weeks to come.
We had a lovely outing to Dublin on February 17th. The bus left with
26 on board at 9.30am and after the obligatory stopover in Mother
Hubbards we arrived in good time at the National Concert Hall. We even
had time to go for a stroll in St. Stephen's Green before the concert.
The concert itself was very enjoyable and it was nice to hear some of
them doing old favourites of ours - Radetzky March, Allegro
from the Four Seasons, Overture to William Tell etc.
The Royal Irish Academy's
Percussion ensemble was one of the guest groups and they were stunning.
What a great idea to have a percussion group!
It is concert time again and we will be having our first one on Sunday
afternoon 1st April D.V. The Suzuki violins will be playing the
following:
Martini Gavotte, Witches Dance, Hunters Chorus, Judas, Gossec Gavotte,
Minuet 2, Minuet 1, Shoe the Donkey, Fainne Geal an Lae and from
Allegro back to Twinkles.
Violas will play Brahms Waltz, Minuet 3, Bohemian Folk Song,
Andantino and from Allegro back to
Twinkles. Cellos will play March in
G, Minuet in C, Rigadoon, Andantino and Allegro back to
Twinkles. The
weekly group classes will now concentrate on the concert pieces.
Those preparing for London College Spring exams will have their exams
on the 9th/10th April in Galway. More details of these later. Leaving
Cert and Junior Cert practicals will be held on either the last
weekend of March or the first weekend in April. So plenty of work
there for everybody.
After Easter we will organise a piano concert, solo concerts and an
end of term concert. So nobody will escape!
Congratulations to Eimear Noone of Kilconnell who will conduct the
Dublin City Chamber Orchestra in the NCH on Saturday 21st April. Music
will include themes from very popular films and one of the guest
artists is Cora Lunny who played in New Inn a few times as a young
Suzuki student. There is a bus being organised to go to the concert so
contact Eimear if you would like to go.
