Armenian danse music: HOY, NAZA EEM"

This is the first piece of Estelle's orchestra for this concert held on March 3rd.  It was 3 hours long!  It was the final concert in a week-long Armenian music festival.  Estelle was in the first two numbers.  The conductor is her oboe professor, Charlotte, who had organized the entire festival.  Estelle is just underneath a microphone that is like a candy-cane shape, left of center. Thomas zoomed in on her at one point. She's a bit blocked by a music stand.

Armenian Concert March 3rd 2017

This is a 2nd piece, a dance piece, adapted for the orchestra.

Thomas could see Estelle but I couldn't. We figured that out towards the end! He took the camera and zoomed in on her right towards the end. Otherwise, you can see her sequined skirt. :-)

Sightreading

I was kind of surprised one day to find Léna sitting at the piano bellowing out the names of the notes to a song.  Apparently this is what they do in their music theory classes, called "solfege".

I decided to film her and asked her to do the song again.  I was so surprised to find out the name of the song at the end!
