Carl Smith, Josh and Portia Clark, Rich and Lori Curole, and Kevin and Alison Midgley were all in attendance last evening. It was impressive collection of instruments:
4 flutes (all doubling piccolo), 4 oboes (2 doubling
English horn), 3 clarinets (1 doubling bass clarinet), 2
E-flat clarinets, 4 bassoons (2 doubling contra bassoon),
10 horns, 8 trumpets, 4 trombones, tuba, 2 harps, organ,
2 sets of timpani, a vast percussion battery, strings,
soprano and alto soloists, and mixed chorus.
This was the largest symphony we've heard and while it is an incredibly dynamic piece to play, everyone thought the orchestra played it very well.
