Junior Choir to Genova

Ambrit Chamber Ensemble and Junior Choir went on a joint tour to Genova this year. We sang at the Anglican Church and the concert was beautiful! These singers and musicians perform music from all periods, sound great,  and look smart! We also toured the Galata Maritime Museum, the Genova Aquarium, walked all the way to the Faro, which is one of the oldest standing structures of its kind in the world, and at the famous Pesto of Genova. All music trips include a heavy schedule or practicing (in the hotel, usually!) seeing the city and sights. We have also been to Milano, Monopoli, Brindisi, Todi, and Florence.
Conductors are Yvonne Fisher and Paige Short. To our Grade 5 singers, good luck next year. We will miss you in Junior Choir! Keep singing!

What's Happening in Karate Recorder/Flutophone?

Congratulations to our first Red Belt in Flutophone Karate at Ambrit, and to the first two Red Belt winners in Karate Recorder! These guys really practice and love to play recorder and flutophone. They practice a lot on their own at home and vacation. Pietu is the only Purple Belt in Grade 3. They are the first Ambrit students to get this far in Karate Recorder and they are only in Grade 4. They not only play recorder, but sing in Junior Choir and play violin and guitar, too. Karate Recorder is fun and, just like Flutophone Karate, you get a different colored belt for each level song you can play on the instrument. By the time you get to black belt, you will be ready for Renaissance music or Jazz! We have a lot of other students on the way to this high level, too, so see you in the Music Room!

Ambrit Treble Choir just came back from a day out. First we sang a concert for the all the students at the Britannia International School in Rome. Then we visited the Museo delle Navi (Ship Museum) in Nemi, which was built to house Caligula's two huge barges. The barges were used for Caligula's extravagant ceremonies, and were beautiful, clad in marble, decorated with columns, and tiled with tin. At the end of WWII someone burned the ships down, and so now, we see only the remnants. It is a place worth seeing, and we made it worth listening to, too, because we sang a a song there. Click on this link to hear us! (the rest of the day was spent swimming in the crater lake, Albano). A good time was had by all!
