Dear Music Enthusiasts,
I am excited to share a wonderful new opportunity to deepen your appreciation and understanding of classical music. Starting this September, I will be offering a new class at the Community School of Music and Arts (CSMA) in Mountain View: "Curious Listener's Guide to Classical Music."
The Grand Feature Film Orchestra (GFFO)
We're a non-profit San Francisco Bay Area student/community group based in Vacaville, California. With a passion for how music, sound effects, and visual media come together to tell stories, The Grand Feature Film Orchestra studies, rehearses, and presents creative original and restored film scores live with the movie. Films from Chaplin, Lloyd, Keaton, Lang, and more, come to life with the music perfectly synchronized with the action on the screen.
This ensemble plays classical and current repertoire. Unlike most classical training, students are guided through improvisation sections in each performance piece. All levels and ages are welcome, and parts are customized for each instrumentalist. This session will focus on The Entertainer by Scott Joplin, The Deserted Garden by Florence Price and a sing-along-play-along of Iz's version of Over the Rainbow to perform on May 20th.
The Choral Skills Immersion Class is taught by SFGC's renowned faculty. Singers will explore and build their skills in vocal technique, ear training, sight-singing, and music theory. The program is recommended for any singer interested in enhancing their vocal and music skills in preparation for auditioning for one of SFGC's Chorus School upper Levels (Levels III and IV) for the 2021-2022 school year.
Our classroom is the majestic redwood forest with unique nature adventures and other interpretive and recreational out-door activities woven into the daily program.
Join our choir for the upcoming Season. You may “drop-in” on our first rehearsal for a fee of $20 to see if we’re a good fit for you. Feel free to bring a friend and find out what it’s like to sing in our choir.
