Dean's Annual Gala Concert 2008

We performed on both nights
30th May (Friday) @ 6pm
31st May (Saturday) @ 4pm
The only shitty thing is this concert is suppose to be done by the Sydney Conservatorium Symphony Orchestra but we the Chamber choir had to help them out by just singing 2 min of 2nd half of the program. We had to sit on the stage for 40 minutes then wait for que to sing for only 2min.
To makes matters even sweet, list of chamber choir was not on the booklet but rather on a separate sheet.




He told us to sing quieter but the audience said they cud hardly hear us. And at the end of the concert, the conductor introduced each section of the orchestra and left us out which made us look quite stupid and dumb. As a musician I felt insulted and unappreciated. Although we only sang for 2min, we weren't suppose to do this performance and we were helping out. The least they could do was acknowledge our effort and help.
We sang this piece:
Bela Bartok(1881-1945)
The Miraculous Mandarin Op. 19
And yes, when we 1st heard the name we thought of the mandarin fruit. Sounds really weird. Google about this piece and you'll be thinking 'what the heck!'
