SPO: Up Close and Personal

At Sneak Peek Orchestra’s most recent concert, we tried out a different format. Instead of doing a full orchestra program, we wanted a way to bring the audience closer to the music, and the musicians behind the music. As such, we put together out first chamber concert, and it was a great success. It was a smaller production in terms of rehearsals and program, but we devoted out efforts elsewhere. Sandwiches and baked treats during reception, an original arrangement for 4 hands to mark the occasion, audio and visual documentation, and marketing the event.

We had a packed Heliconian Hall, and received overwhelmingly positive response for this format. It showcased all the best that the Sneak Peek Orchestra strives to be in an intimate setting: great musicianship, great music by the masters and our contemporaries, and charming MCs, all of which translate to great fun for our audience.

Below is a video of Kevin and Victor premiering Kevin’s arrange of themes from Harry Potter for 4 hands. A well deserved standing ovation guys, now let’s start prepping for our next orchestral concert on February 4th!
