Marble Hall Performance, Salzburg
That's us! In the beautiful Marble Hall for our Salzburg performance!
Due to the weather, we could not perform at the scenic Mirabell Gardens. Instead, we moved indoors to the beautiful Marble Palace Hall (next to the Gardens) and were amazed at how beautiful the venue was!
Best of all, our teachers said that the acoustics (it's the sound bouncing off the walls) really enhanced the sound coming from our instruments. We believe them, because judging from the audience response, we not only recieved applause, we heard them cheering for us!

Oh, What a Night!
We started our Austria 2010 tour Singapore performance on a high note with an intimate evening on 2 June at the Chamber, Arts House.
Our families and closest friends spent that Wednesday evening with us; we played our Austria 2010 repertoire for them before we present it to the Mayor of Salzburg and local audiences in Austria for the Salzburg and Vienna leg of the tour.
Expectations were high as we spent much time and effort practising and perfecting what is our most important performance yet. Music was not the only thing that we learnt, we grew closer together, built friendships and experienced what it is like play as one.
The hours or sectional and orchestral rehearsals paid off as we played confidently and steadily throughout the entire 90 minute performance. Even the duets (Su Yean, Luke), trios (Julie, Dana, Chris) and solo (Brendan) sounded convincing enough. And judging from the applause, we all did good!
Now we are only 2 short weeks' away to meeting at the airport and flying off to Austria. We can't wait! Yay!
