Sugar Plum Fairy CakeInterval cake decorated by Sheila Blackwell Everyone enjoyed the break in our final rehearsal with the surprise appearance of the Sugar Plum Fairy atop a delicious cake made by Sheila, one of our cellists.
Our conductor, Roland Fudge, is very enthusiastic about the coming concert.
Here’s what he says about it and us:-
“In this concert we shall be energized by the power of “Russianism” in music, first with Glinka, who pioneered the way of transforming the European orchestral language into something rather more “Eastern”. Then (a revelation to several of us) Kalinnikov, showing a mastery of large-scale symphonic construction, but always with exuberance and melodic intensity. Finally, the sheer brilliance of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker.
I won’t be surprised if sparks start to fly at times!”
