i’m playing this in 3 days in 9th it’s one of my favorite pieces(violas are underrated)

played this freshmen year of high school over 15 years ago and snippets of it would just float back into my head from time to time. I had forgotten the composer and name and finally found it again through musipedia. Brings back a lot of good memories, including the anxiety I would feel tackling some of those runs on 1st violin. It's a beautiful piece and I'm glad I found a good version to come back to.

I'm doing this in my HS orchestra tomorrow. It's pretty grueling, but the violins have it the worst. A bassist like myself shouldn't complain to much.

I'm playing it for an audition and violinists definitely have it the worst.

hiu ching Sin bassist unite!

They move as a unit expressively and pay attention to each other, great job listening to one another. Great leadership, from the Music Director Nadija Salerno-Sonnenberg!

she gonna fall off dat chair!

This is one of my favorite pieces of all time! The communication with other players to make this sound and feel the way it should is so much fun! I am so happy you all chose to do this!

I love the looks of joy on their faces as they play the amazing music that Tchaikovsky wrote for them. Each player in the ensemble thinks they have the best part--the sign of a great orchestrator. This what highly talented people do to get a mutual high. They certainly lit me up!

Played this in my HS orchestra 2 days ago and we'll play it again in a week...love that piece!

I played this piece in 2014 when I was 14 with a summer school. it was honestly the best. i miss it so much! We played an incredible arrangement of this. I have a serious case of the feels now haha

Ahh I remember playing the entire serenade as a 9th grader and ever since then it has been my favorite piece for strings! This is by far the best recording I have found. I love the sound the ensemble is able to produce and the passion poured into the piece. Simply amazing.

One of the most beautiful chamber pieces ever. Fun to play. Great job!

I love the finger plucking! Beautiful Piece!

wow, very nice. full of passion haha especially the concert master, bravo!

Always interesting seeing performances where the person 'conducting' is actually one of the musicians (at least I believe that's what the 1st chair violin is doing). Brilliant performance of a difficult piece to pull off so thoroughly masterful as this. Thank you for sharing it!

As an 8th grade upright bassist you can assume how frightened I am to begin preparing this piece for concert in may with a youth orchestra, yet I am extremely excited

Jose D. Vargas c i'm an eighth grade first violinist. our orchestra struggled with this at first but now it's coming tgt nicely

This is not a studio but live! So you can't do it over and over again. It was brilliant in this very moment. Super bravo! Also for Nadja Sonnenberg.

Truly wonderful, passionate rendition of one of the most glorious pieces of music !

They look so happy! Hearing them play is great, but watching them play is amazing!

Playing this piece in my middle school select orchestra! Love it!

Nobody has more heart than Nadja

HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO PLAY THIS

i know everyone here is because your orchestra is tasked with this monstrosity, as i’m guilty of this as well, and all i have to say is good luck with this vErY fUn piece. our hs symphony teacher, however, decided to take it a whole five steps further than necessary: we have three tests in the hardests sections and our teacher refuses to acknowledge the disaster that is our cello section (which i am unfortunately a part of) and when she does she goes out of her way to find nOt the easier, but the eASIEST parts as another strategy to ignore the most awful cello sections ive ever laid my eyes on difficulty wise, meaning all of us are tasked of spending our own time to learn this monstrosity. auditioning for the advanced orchestra as a freshman (basically unheard of) was a bad idea and i’m currently facing the repercussions while writing this as a way to procrastinate analyzing shifting patterns if you’re still reading this and you happen to be a violinist, i’m truly praying for your sanity

Thank you for helping remind my students through your performance what a joy and a privilege it is to play this piece!

They are the best!! Love NCCO!

Such a fun song to play and listen to! 👍

Played this this year for my hs orchestra and I loved this piece I play viola and it was an awesome peace to play and sounded amazing

I love this piece so much. I had played it when i was in 10th grade as a violin 1 player. I remember it being very hard at first but it was so much fun to play and now seeing NCCO play it made it so much better. Keep up the good work guys!!!!!

Music of the highest heavens!

An excerpt from this is part of my auditions happening in my High School Orchestra. Pls wish me luck Edit: thanks for the people who wished me luck. I didn’t make the highest orchestra I could but I made one lower. Still, thank you so much.

Bravo!

lord have mercy

Wow!

I miss this piece so much. I played it last year with my middle school. Such a beautiful piece!!

Bravo

How's the live audio being captured so.. well?

There are various microphones hanging from the ceiling and there are a few others on stands around the orchestra.

Just remembering playing this a few years back in a middle school orchestra and realizing how terrible we must have sounded- (played the real version)

I'm a 9th grader playing this in 2 days.I;m so scared our cello setion is great and so is our bass. But like first violins and seconds are barely pulling through. Im a second btw. I've been practicing a lot but got injured a while ago and this will be my first performance since my injury. I'm super nervous. I hope we can make it sound ok and pull through.

GOOD

im playing this as a 6th grader chamber student combined with the high schoolers, im a viola

concert masters bow is on the finger board

barely anyone in my orchestra other than our top players can properly play this it's so painful shsjshsjdk

Hello New Century Chamber Orchestra! I have listened to your recording of Serenade for Strings about maybe 50 times now. I was wondering is there any way of sending a message directly to one of the cello players? Like a contact? Thanks

This piece is so physically taxing for a violinist. I should know bc I’m a violinist who is currently learning this piece-
