The end-of-year evaluations at the Lyre music school on Wednesday, April 8, distinguished four students who will be among the future musicians of the grand orchestra.
With a pianist from Burgundy, public auditions were held for clarinet, oboe, double bass, string, trumpet at the Lyre auditorium.
An important moment in the journey of these students; it rewards their work, dedication, and passion at the end of the first cycle allowing them to enter the grand orchestra or during the second cycle for performers with more experience.
“The potential”
The juries, made up of Dijon professors external to the Lyre, were able to appreciate the progress of each student, the musical quality of the performances, and the artistic commitment of the students.
James Weeb, 13 years old on clarinet (1st mention), Eva Godonnier, 13 years old on oboe (2nd mention), Aurore Rollin on double bass (2nd mention), 40 years old, Nathan Vomerel, 17 years old with his trumpet (2nd mention) each had to perform about ten minutes of musical program with their instrument of choice.
“These evaluations are also essential steps to build independent and flourishing musicians,” said the satisfied Lyre director, Marie-Christine Remongin. “The students presented have the potential to move on to the grand orchestra. Otherwise, they stay in the intermediate cycles to progress.” The week ended on Saturday, April 11, with an evaluation in percussion by Jérémie Cassent.
On the calendar
The Lyre will continue its activities with a day dedicated to “double basses and strings” on May 1st, bringing together five participants around the usual teacher, Benoît Devanne. On May 8, around fifty performers from the Lyre will be involved in commemorative ceremonies in Culmont, Torcenay, Chalindrey.
