We performed John Corigliano’s Pied Piper Fantasy with the amazing Carol Wincenc and the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.
It was a wonderful opportunity to work with Carol Wincenc – she is a world-class soloist and a teacher at the Julliard School in New York. Our students worked very hard for several weeks of rehearsals to prepare for this event, and performed three times as part of the last concert of the ESO 2015-16 season.
Many thanks to Carol Wincenc for inviting us to play with her, to conductor Bill Eddins for programming the piece on the ESO concert series, to the Edmonton Opera for providing the costumes, and to the ESO Operations Manager, the incredible Jerrold Eilander, who kept it all together backstage and got everyone out on time for our cue!
