Conductors' Notes
Philharmonia Strings

Fantastic Festivals
Dear Philharmonia Strings,
It has been a pleasure working with you this year. I feel that we grew tremendously in our playing and musicianship throughout the year and Saturday's performance was a testament to that growth. You each worked extremely hard throughout the year and I am proud of the progress that you have made as individual musicians.
I know we were all slightly disappointed that we didn't get the platinum rating, but you should know that we were only 2 points away! We scored 90 out of 100 and the platinum rating is 92 - 100.
Click on the links below to download recordings of the performances with the judges' comments. I think when you listen to the comments, you will agree that many of the things the judges commented on were things that we worked on in rehearsals and maybe just needed to refine a bit more. The judges also gave a lot of positive feedback and complimented us on many things that we worked so hard on. But all in all, we had an excellent performance and I am proud of how much we have accomplished throughout the year.
So thank you for a wonderful year and I look forward to seeing you all at auditions in August!
Mrs. Mac
