Hello everyone,

This Saturday, September 26th, there will be an early viola sectional and a cello & bass sectional.

The Cello/Bass sectional will be coached by Mr. Peter Askim, Bassist and Conductor of the Raleigh Civic Symphony, in room 101, from 9:00-10:00am. The viola sectional will be coached by our own Ms. Livingston in room 041, from 9:00 to 10:00am.

If you are a violist, bassist, or cellist, please arrive by 8:45am to be tuned, seated, and ready with a pencil. Everyone else, please arrive with enough time to be tuned, seated, and ready to work at the 10:15 rehearsal in Bone Hall. Here’s the rehearsal schedule (with links to the audio for your listening pleasure).
