This is an incredible educational opportunity that we offer and a great opportunity for a composer. Details about the competition are on the website. In addition to the great opportunities being provided for everyone in the Festival Orchestra, the Sinfonietta orchestra will be performing Bloch’s Concerto Grosso No 1 for strings and piano obbligato. This piece has an exquisite and challenging piano part and will be a great opportunity for one of our outstanding young pianist in the state. If you have a student or know of a student that is up to the task please encourage them to audition. The festival will culminate
in a spectacular
performance in the concert hall on Sunday, February 12 at 1 p.m. For interested exhibitors there are four potential exhibit locations in the Moody Music Building during the Festival. Exhibitors may set up any time after 4:00 on Thursday, February 9 and remain until the concert
is over on Sunday

The 2012 AMEA in-service conference is quickly approaching,
and I hope to see many AOA members in attendance.
The
conference will be in Montgomery again this year at the Renaissance Hotel. The new location was a hit last year and has allowed for a very successful experience. We are especially excited this year, Sandra Dackow, nationally recognized string educator, conductor and arranger, will lead us in several workshops. You will not want to miss these so please make plans to attend. AMEA in-service is a great time to inspire your teaching and reconnect with fellow educators from around the state. You can find out more at
www.alabamaorchestraassociation.o rg or at
www.alabamamea.org.
Again, it is a great honor and a great pleasure to serve you in this capacity. Thank you for all you do and I look forward to seeing you and making great music together.
