CSYO Summer Tour
Las Alpujarras and Granada, July 2004:
The Alexander Music School is pleased to be associated
with the forthcoming summer tour of the award winning City
of Sheffield Youth Orchestra.
Cat Jary has been a tutor of the orchestra since 1990. Her
role has changed since that time, having been both lower strings
tutor and general strings tutor. Since 2001, Cat has been
the Alexander Technique teacher on the orchestra’s Easter
and summer residential courses.
Whilst the Alexander Music School is not a suitable venue
to host the 90 members of CSYO visiting the Alpujarras this
summer, Cat Jary and School Manager Barbara Lynch have been
instrumental in helping the tour take shape. The unique combination
of Barbara’s previous experience working with Scottish
Opera, coupled with her last ten years full-time involvement
living in the Alpujarras, has helped to smooth the way for
the orchestra.
The orchestra will be based in a hotel on the outskirts of
Trevelez, allowing them excellent opportunities to both rehearse
and relax in stunning surroundings.
The City of Sheffield Youth Orchestra will be the first full
sized symphony orchestra to play in the Alpujarras.
The concert in Granada is part of the VII International Masterclass
and Piano Festival with Cuban Pianist, Leonel Morales.
The concerts
planned are as follows:
| Saturday
24th July |
Almunecar. |
| Sunday 25th July |
Granada, Centuro Cultural
Manuel de Falla. |
| Monday 26th July |
