My boys got to be a part of a the opening night for the Aspen Music Festival that takes place every summer in Aspen, CO. This was at the end of June and was a rollover from the programs they took during the school year. It was amazing and so special they got to perform together. Riley was in the Lead Guitar program and Reece was a part of the Maroon Bel Canto Children's Choir.
The programs were issued a grant that allowed a song be written just for them to debut. That's pretty awesome in my book. So the entire piece was called "Future Visions."
The Strings section got to play their part called "Future Groove."
Lead Guitar got to play their part called "Bells of the Future."
Then we got to hear the Choir sing the song.
The final piece they all played/sang at the same time and it was incredible how it sounded when it all came together. This music loving momma was in tears. This was the WORLD DEBUT of a song written just for this program! Performed at the ASPEN MUSIC FESTIVAL!! How cool is that?
I spy Riley in blue! |
Since I know my son so well, I spy Reece and his shiny, blonde hair. =p |
After hours of rehearsal they got a pizza break before show time. |
