On Sunday 28 November Marios Papadopoulos led a Directing from the keyboard masterclass with Alissa Firsova. As part of theYoung Artists’ Platform, the orchestra and pianists worked on Mozart’s Piano Concerto in A.
Dear Mr Papadopoulos,
My name is Fergus. I am 9 years old. This evening I attended your directing from the keyboard masterclass at the Sheldonian.
I was not allowed to stay for the main concert because my Dad said I have school tomorrow and that it was too late in the evening. I really enjoyed watching the masterclass and thought it was brilliant that an event was held early enough in the evening that I could still attend. Thank you for including this in your programme.
I had heard of the Oxford Philomusica from one of the Mums at my school in Stoke Row who also likes classical music. I thought that the Orchestra were fantastic. Even my Dad, who doesn’t really like music, really enjoyed it and I will be asking my Mum and Dad for tickets to a concert during the school holidays or on a Friday or Saturday night as part of my next birthday present.
Thank you again for letting me come and enjoy seeing the Masterclass.
Yours sincerely
Fergus
