Neflac blog 25. juli 2015

Code yellow, code orange, code red… This is how our day started with checking the weather forecast often.

Today was the first concert day, which was supposed to start in park Sonsbeek, but the weather unfortunately didn’t allow this. We started the day with packing our bags and after breakfast we went to the church in Rheden. There we had a general rehearsal for the concert in the Dorpskerk this evening. Since we couldn’t go to park Sonsbeek we had a private-concert for each other and a few friends/family of the NTK’s. In the concert we enjoyed listening chamber groups which we formed during the summer-academy week.

Friends of Neflac helped with transport from the church back to Rhederoord, where we had our last dinner together as a Neflac family. With full stomachs and full of motivation we were ready to perform again. The concert in Rheden was absolutely amazing and despite the weather we played for a full church. The program of the concert was very colourful-from solo pieces with piano to Neflac flute orchestra with special guest, famous Dutch violinist Liza Ferschtman, who performed together with the flute orchestra two virtuoso pieces: Waltz Scherzo from Tchaikowsky and Summer from Vivaldi´s Four Seasons.  We had a great evening, being very lucky to have played with and be able to learn from such an amazing musician like Liza. Tired but satisfied we left for the Stayokay hotel in Arnhem. Most of the tonight´s dreams will be probably about tomorrows concert in famous HET Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
