A voice from the audience at the Chicago Symphony Hall

The orchestra was wonderful! Such a talented group of young people, and such a consistently high quality performance!  We thought it was quite remarkable!
It was clear that the orchestra members are the "cream of the crop" of young instrumentalists. They were so together, with nimble fingers and beautiful expression.  It was a joy to hear them!

Preparing for rehearsasls at Cary Hall, New York






Concert at Scandinavia House hosted by Per Tengstrand

A group from the SNUO orchestra accompanied Per Tengstrand at Scandinavia House in New York Tuesday evening.

It developed into a fantastic concert with excellent presentations by Per Tengstrand, Tobias Broström and Hugo Ticciati.
Focus was on composer Tobias Broström and his music, especially the "Samsara" piece which was played in a duo version by Hugo Ticciati and Johan Bridger.

On the road again!


Departing from a (finally) sunny Chicago



Having to split the group on eight different flights to get all 15 cellos on board made the logistics a bit interesting.

 
It took us from early morning to late evening to get us all to New York.

First trip into town. To have meatballs at the Scandinavia House...
