From the stack of amazing thank yous written by elementary school students who attended last month’s WCFSO educational program on Aaron Copland. [I will have some wonderful video of the kid conductors to share soon.]
To the student who sent this: my favorite piece on the program was the other movement we played from Rodeo, Buckaroo Holiday – I love Copland’s use of rhythm and syncopation in the main theme – and my favorite instrument is of course the clarinet.
And to the readers of this blog: you don’t have to attend our youth concerts to ask me a question and have it answered here.
