I think I mentioned before that my youngest daughter is learning violin.  She's (thankfully) beyond the strangled cat stage and progressing well.
 
Our county has a few orchestras (orchestrae?) for young people (kids) that are supported by the local councils to encourage young musicians.   Once a year they all join up for a concert.
 
String Celebration 2012 was this years offering.   17 Double bass, over 50 Cellos more than 250 violins/violas, 4 percusionists, 5 harps and a piano.  The largest orchestra I've seen/heard in one place.
 
I took a bit of video with my iPhone.  I appologise for the "soft" focus...  I didn't realise the stupid thing had locked focus on the womans head sat right infront of me!
 
Also, I managed to sit in probably the only seat where I couldn't actually see Ellie...  so I've maked her in the video.  She somewhere in the middle of the 2nd violins, just infront of the bass drum.
 
Enjoy.

Good job!  I'll take your word for it that Ellie was in the vid....LOL

I'm off to work now.  I'll take a look as soon as I get home tonight.

WOW! I wish I had a school program like that


P.S. That was great!!!

  I love to see kids into music and playing it well. You must be proud.

They're not all from the same school Bill.
 
 
Yes,  I'm very proud.
 

I enjoyed the piece and the recording was pretty good (for a phone).

Well done Mum!! Have you recorded any of her playing in Sonar that you can share? 

(apart from the rock side, I truly enjoy listening to violins, cello's, piano, and classical guitar....)  

GOOD STUFF - CONGRATS ELLIE.
Remind me what the piece they're playing is called

Outstanding performance!  They sound better then then Eastwest Symphonic Orchestra Virtual Instruments.  KUDOS Ellie!
