If you have signed up for the 2016 Winter Orchestra Workshop, now is a good time to:
Highlights will include the Intermezzo Strings playing movements from Peter Warlock’s “Capriol Suite” and the Launceston Symphony Orchestra playing the Overture to “William Tell” by Gioacchino Rossini.
Frequent concert guests may recognise the “Sixteen Sensations” by Australian composer Stephen Chin. Pieces from this collection have appeared at the Residential Summer String Camp in 2012, 2015 and 2016, and the LYCO 2015 Mid Year Concert and 2015 End of Year Concert. At the 2016 Residential Summer String Camp, the Preludio Strings played the first sensation, “Gecko Echo”. Now, at this concert, the Piccolo Strings will for the first time perform the final two sensations, “Bubbles” and “Fiddle Stick Fury”.

When we scheduled the 2016 Winter Orchestra Workshop, the first weekend in July looked like a good, quiet time of year to hold it. That weekend will no longer be so quiet, as the Saturday will be the day of the 2016 Federal Election. We have created a page of links to Australian Electoral Commission information on:
You may find it at Winter Orchestra Workshop – 2016 Federal Election.
The main work will be Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2 in D Major. The fee is $225, or $200 for LYCO members, with a $20 increase after 31st May 2016. The camp will run from the afternoon of 1st July 2016 (Friday) to 3rd July 2016 (Sunday).
Other details and application forms may be found on the Winter Orchestra Workshop page.
We are also accepting applications for the 27th annual Residential Summer String Camp.
After consultation with members, the Mid Year Concert has been moved a week earlier, to the 17th of June 2016 (Friday).
We hope that new and returning LYCO members have had a satisfactory break, and still found some good music to play. Rehearsals in 2016 resume on the 12th of February. This and dates for the rest of the year may be found on the Rehearsals page.
Other important dates are:
24th June 2016 17th June 2016 (Friday)
1st July 2016 (Friday) to 3rd July 2016 (Sunday)
