Thus NCO finished its year, with another popular outing, this time of movie music. This was not trivial stuff (mostly) or, if trivial, madly entertaining. There was Beethoven Symph no.7 mvt.2, so famous and well used in cinema, as are the other classics, from Khachaturian Spartacus and the delicious Elgar Nimrod. Then challenging film musics of John Williams, Max Richter, Klaus Badelt, for films including ET, 007, Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, and some plain fun-cum-larks from Kpop, Chicken run and the likes. It had been a fairly limited rehearsal run and I'd missed a few weeks in Adelaide but it worked out perfectly well. Then dinner at Kingo Pub but I was otherwise engaged, and Chrissie and next year's NCO 45th anniversary. Great to be a part of such an organisation of such combined seriousness and plain fun. Thanks Louis, Martin, the Committee, my fellow bassists and all!
National Capital Orchestra performed Movie magic at Snow Concert Hall under Louis Sharpe (MD, conductor). Bottom enders were Juliet Flook, Roger Grime, Jennifer Groom, Greg Perkins and Eric Pozza (bass).
