The High Mowing Sinfonietta, directed by Mark Ferguson (former HMS French teacher and chamber music teacher...and still occasional HMS accompanist extraordinaire!), performed in the Big Room on Saturday, April 21 at 4 pm. HMS Music Director and flutist Elise MacDonald was a featured soloist. Harpist Bev Boyer, an HMS teacher and dorm counselor, also performed with the ensemble, as well as alums Nicola Groh ('06) and Guen Soo Park ('06), both violinists.
High Mowing students, music students from other area high schools, and students from Pine Hill make up the Sinfonietta, which is comprised of both strings and woodwinds. The woodwinds (flute, oboe, and clarinet) are a new addition to the Sinfonietta this year. In the past, Mark (pictured) has performed some pieces strictly for the winds and strings, and others for the strings, winds and piano. Mark has arranged and orchestrated several pieces for the Sinfonietta over the past few years, as well.
