Robertson Youth Orchestra

Last night we attended the Robertson Youth Orchestra where my son plays first violin. It was held at the Ivanhoe Grammar Girls Performing Centre and other orchestras played as well.

It was very impressive as they were the last ones to play and the best. It was a weird experience when they came in, they all looked so mature and professional. They music was beautiful and the orchestra sounded solid. Being a Symphony Orchestra, in contrast with a string one, where Anton used to play before, the sound gives the feeling of "full". Violins and violas, combined with flutes, clarinets, trumpets, saxophones, oboe, piano and drums, sound sweeter. The Orchestra played "I still call Australia home" with the children's choir to conclude the show. It was really emotive to hear that song. It made me think of when I was in Argentina and I missed my home here. Great show, I am proud of my son. He looked awesome in that attire.

Anoche fuimos a ver a la Robertson Youth Orchestra donde Anton ahora toca primer violin. Otras orquestas tocaron tambien, pero fue impresionante cuando Robertson emepezo a tocar porque en comparacion con las otras orquestas, fue la mas madura y la que mejor sono. En comparacion con la orquesta de cuerdas donde Anton tocaba antes, esta al ser sinfonica suena mucho mas "llena". Los violines acompanados por otros intrumentos como flautas, clarinetes, trompetas, saxofones, oboe, piano y bateria, suenan mas dulces. La orquesta toco "Todavia llamo Australia mi hogar" acompanado del coro de chicos. Fue muy emocionante, me hizo acordar cuando estaba en Argentina y extranaba mi hogar aca. Fantastico show, estoy orgullosa de mi hijo. Le quedaba re bien esa ropa, muy maduro y profesional fue el look.
