• Concert

  Last night was the Miri Orchestra and Choir Society(MOCS) concert held by Pustaka Miri in conjunction with Miri City Day. So naturally, it was held in the Auditorium, Pustaka Miri. It was the first time I took part in the orchestra..my previous performances were only in church and at the school concert(Bad memory.). I'm glad I joined it. Learnt a lot. Discovered nice pieces. Yanni's Tribute is really wonderful. But it's soo hard to play. Forgot to mention, I played the second violin.
  
  Venue. Pustaka Miri.
  
  
  Tall pillars outside..
  
  
  Stairs..mirror illusion?
  
  
  There was a painting exhibition going on.
  
  
  During practice..I was early.
  
  
  Violins..
  
  
  More violins. Backstage.
  
  
  I used my phone to videod these during rehearsal so bit blurry..just a small part of the song. Don't tell me you don't recognize it. Hint: Titanic.
  Conductor is Yap Ling from Sabah Orchestra. He's a fantastic violinist. Showed us the wide range of sounds a triangle can make while we were backstage...
  My teacher, James Lau featuring the saxophone solo with Chamber Orchestra. Thanks for "forcing" me to join orchestra..no regrets luckily. ^^
  

   
  

   
  By the way, no photos at present cause we can't have our valuables at backstage so couldn't take pics. Okie..the end. Look forward to next performance.
