They played beautifully, and in case you didn't notice, he made second chair! This was a huge surprise to him, but so, so appreciated. This concert was followed by auditions for next year (he made it), and a week of rehearsing and recording with the Hennesey Six, a jazz band who asked to record with the YS. The CD's will be released this fall, and at that time they will perform a joint concert to celebrate the accomplishment.
Jay Henry will be participating in the Sounds of Summer orchestra July 6, 7, and 8th. The second week of July, he and I will be traveling to Utah to attend our first opera (Madame Butterfly) and a concert (or two) of the Utah Philharmonic. He will then participate in the Manitou Springs Chamber Music program the last two weeks of July. This will be immediately followed by camp for YS, for which he will miss the first week of school. He is one busy musician! I keep telling him to enjoy June, because there will be very little relaxing in July!
