Report by Robin Sammon Wharton
I was given the opportunity to play the piano at the Cork Youth Orchestra Concert on Saturday evening, the 18th November 2017. I was delighted. When Saturday came, I went in, in the early afternoon, with my mam and my big sister, Jane to the rehearsal in Pobalscoil.
When we arrived, the orchestra were all ready. The conductor, Tomás McCarthy greeted us. He asked me if I would like to come up and sit with the musicians while they played. I answered “Yes, please!” There were violins, cellos, drums and many more instruments.
After the rehearsal, I went home and had to get ready. I put on my music and I got dressed in a black velvet dress, then we went to the concert.
When my name was called, I stood up and walked to the piano. My music teacher, Fredrik sat beside me. I played “Primavera” by Ludivico Einaudi. Everyone clapped. I loved watching the Snowman movie. I had a photo taken with my friends.
After the concert, we went home and my mom made tea and sandwiches for everyone. I really enjoyed my day.
