Jonathan spent last week at BYU's summer music camp. It was an extremely successful week. It was one of those "payday" moments for me as a parent as I watched and listened to Jonathan being rewarded for hours and hours of hard work on his clarinet. Jonathan was selected to play in the Student Recital one evening. He sang in the choir and played in several groups: the Clarinet Choir, the Wind Ensemble, and the Symphony Orchestra. In the Wind Ensemble, Jonathan got to the the band equivalent of the concert master. He got to tune the band and shake hands with the conductors at the end of the concert. In the Symphony Orchestra, Jonathan had several solos, including an impressive one in Orpheus in the Underworld by Offenbach. His solo was beautiful! Unfortunately, video recording of the concerts was prohibited so I don't have a recording of him, but the concerts were recorded and the audio will be available soon. I'll post an audio recording when available. Jonathan had a great week and hopes to be able to go back next year.
