NYCO

Two of the members of the Taffanel Wind Ensemble are busy also keeping up their orchestral skills preparing for the North York Concert Orchestra's next concert on Saturday June 7th at Grace Church-on the-Hill. Bill and Nora enjoy the opportunity to be part of a larger ensemble as well as the trio. This next concert the orchestra is performing Grieg's piano concerto, a well loved and challenging work for both soloist and orchestra. On a lighter note, the orchestra will perform Grieg's Pier Gynt Suite and who can forget the Bugs Bunny adaption of Morning.
For more information about this upcoming performance visit the orchestra's website: http://www.nyco.on.ca/
