2017 SCSO Side-by-Side Student Recommendations The 2017 SCSO Side-by-Side invites music educators from around the region to recommend top string, wind, brass and percussion students from their high school orchestra, band and music programs. Recommendations are made on the basis of the teacher’s evaluation of their students’ ability to technically and musically meet the challenges of the two works that are to be rehearsed and performed. This year’s selections will be selected by American composer Nicholas Britell from some of his film scores (follow the link to learn about Nick and to hear some of his music). Final selections and parts will be available in early September. Teachers who wish to obtain copies of parts of these works in order to ascertain work level of difficulty and to make a recommendation will be sent PDFs via email upon request. Students accepted into the event will be sent all parts via email as PDFs in order to prepare their respective parts fully prior to the event. Hard copies will be made available at the event. Available seats for the Side-by-Side Since the SCSO is currently a 70-member ensemble, we can only offer limited seats in each section and as follows: Violin I: 8 seats Violin II: 6 seats Viola: 5 seats Cello: 5 seats Double Bass: 4 seats Woodwind/Brass/harp: one seat in each instrument group (i.e. one flute, one oboe, etc) Percussion (excluding timpani): 2 seats How many students can a teacher recommend Since only a very limited number of students are accepted in each instrument group, teachers are asked to send no more than four (4) nominations in order to allow teachers from other schools and/or regions to be eligible to participate. Where to send a recommendation Please send recommendations directly to Jan Wagner via email at jwagner@su.edu.
