Mendelssohn - Sinfonia X



Wow...talk about a high school orchestra concert...last night was one for the books. Not bragging here or anything (LOL!). I just have to keep this memory alive on my blog, because it was so refreshing to watch my son play viola in the Consort (highest of 3) level of his h.s. orchestra. Kudos to all the students for an outstanding performance.

So grab a cup of coffee or a glass of vino...it's 15 minutes of awesomeness. My son is standing directly to the right of the conductor. He was Principal violist. The violests do a solo near the end of the performance.

Thanks for watching! Happy autumn :)
