23.01.2022 Currently in performance at the The Polish Roads to Freedom concert.
19.01.2022 Yesterday afternoon we had the pleasure of performing for the first time since November 2019. Our short recital was in honour of the solidarity of the Polish people in the struggle for their freedom and was hosted by the Federation of Polish Association in NSW. The highlight of the afternoon was two performances, first by Mr Hank Zhao, a young member in our beginners division who performed the ‘Rieding’ Concerto accompanied by our senior division. Last but not least a specta...cular performance by soprano Ms Anita Kyle, who sang five songs by Polish composer, Stanisaw Moniuszko. More photos to follow. Photo credit: Mr Perry Carbonell.

12.01.2022 My name is Nadia. My favourite activities are riding motorbikes and racing go karts. I love listening to music played with stringed instruments. When it’s my choice in the car I like to put on one of my favourite radio stations either Classic FM or Fine music. My older sister has played the violin for a long time and she inspired me to start playing too. I started playing in the L’ Estro orchestra last year. I like being part of the orchestra because I love playing music with others and the music is so soothing. My favourite piece I’ve ever played is Minuet II composed by Telemann.
09.01.2022 Rehearsals are back this week. Excited to resume our normal schedule. If you have not received an email, contact admin.
07.01.2022 Helen Keller wrote the following letter to the New York Symphony Orchestra in March 1924. Here's how she describes listening to Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony" ove...r the radio: Dear Friends: I have the joy of being able to tell you that, though deaf and blind, I spent a glorious hour last night listening over the radio to Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. I do not mean to say that I heard the music in the sense that other people heard it; and I do not know whether I can make you understand how it was possible for me to derive pleasure from the symphony. It was a great surprise to myself. I had been reading in my magazine for the blind of the happiness that the radio was bringing to the sightless everywhere. I was delighted to know that the blind had gained a new source of enjoyment; but I did not dream that I could have any part in their joy. Last night, when the family was listening to your wonderful rendering of the immortal symphony someone suggested that I put my hand on the receiver and see if I could get any of the vibrations. He unscrewed the cap, and I lightly touched the sensitive diaphragm. What was my amazement to discover that I could feel, not only the vibration, but also the impassioned rhythm, the throb and the urge of the music! The intertwined and intermingling vibrations from different instruments enchanted me. I could actually distinguish the cornets, the roil of the drums, deep-toned violas and violins singing in exquisite unison. How the lovely speech of the violins flowed and plowed over the deepest tones of the other instruments! When the human voices leaped up thrilling from the surge of harmony, I recognized them instantly as voices more ecstatic, upcurving swift and flame-like, until my heart almost stood still. The women’s voices seemed an embodiment of all the angelic voices rushing in a harmonious flood of beautiful and inspiring sound. The great chorus throbbed against my fingers with poignant pause and flow. Then all the instruments and voices together burst forth an ocean of heavenly vibration and died away like winds when the atom is spent, ending in a delicate shower of sweet notes. Of course this was not hearing, but I do know that the tones and harmonies conveyed to me moods of great beauty and majesty. I also sense, or thought I did, the tender sounds of nature that sing into my hand-swaying reeds and winds and the murmur of streams. I have never been so enraptured before by a multitude of tone-vibrations. As I listened, with darkness and melody, shadow and sound filling all the room, I could not help remembering that the great composer who poured forth such a flood of sweetness into the world was deaf like myself. I marveled at the power of his quenchless spirit by which out of his pain he wrought such joy for others and there I sat, feeling with my hand the magnificent symphony which broke like a sea upon the silent shores of his soul and mine.

06.01.2022 My name is Tom and I am 6 years old. I am in grade one. I started learning the violin when I was in kindergarten with Mrs Fernando. Before she left she recommended Mr Kowalik, he is the best violin teacher ever. I always wanted to learn violin because it makes a beautiful sound and melodies attract me a lot so I asked my mum to let me learn the violin. I really like playing violin especially with my friends in the orchestra.
01.01.2022 Hi, My name is Audrey Saliba, I am nine years old and I am in year 3. I started playing the violin when I was in year 1 and have been playing for just over two years. My sisters flute teacher, inspired me to play the violin. I watched her play when my mum took me to the Sydney Youth Orchestra toddler proms. I really enjoyed watching her and I’ve always liked the look and sound of the violin, I don’t know what it is about the violin, I just love it.... I also love playing in L’Estro Armonico, we create wonderful music and have fun with many friends. I have not decided exactly what I would like to do when I grow up, but I’m thinking maybe a Nurse, a Librarian or even a volcanologist are some of the things I find interesting. I admire and am inspired by Anna Da Silva Chen who is part of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, also Aisha Goodman who is a foundation member of L’Estro Armonico and a member of the Australian Youth Orchestra.
