The end-of-year evaluations at the Lyre music school distinguished four students who will be among the aspiring musicians of the grand orchestra on Wednesday, April 8.
In a public audition with a pianist from Burgundy, exams were held for clarinet, oboe, double bass, string, and trumpet at the Lyre auditorium.
This marks an important moment in the journey of these students; it rewards their hard work, dedication, and passion at the end of the first cycle, enabling them to enter the grand orchestra or continue in the second cycle for performers with more experience.
The juries, made up of teachers from Dijon 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, on the clarinet (1st mention), Eva Godonnier, 13, on the oboe (2nd mention), Aurore Rollin on the double bass (2nd mention), and Nathan Vomerel, 17, on the trumpet (2nd mention) each had to perform about ten minutes of musical program with their instrument of choice.
“These evaluations are also essential steps in constructing independent and fulfilled musicians,” said the satisfied Lyre director, Marie-Christine Remongin, “The students presented have the potential to move up to the grand orchestra. Otherwise, they will remain in between cycles until they progress.” The week ended on Saturday, April 11, with an evaluation on percussion by Jérémie Cassent.
Lyre will continue its activities with a special “double bass and string” day on May 1 led by the usual teacher, Benoît Devanne. On May 8, around fifty Lyre performers will be involved in commemorative events in Culmont, Torcenay, and Chalindrey.
