First Orchestra Discovery Session - Recordings and Score Sheets (Patreon)

A few months ago, we had our Patreon exclusive First Orchestra Discovery Session where I use some of the money this Patreon generates to book a recording session and invite some of my patrons to record their music in that session.

In September, we had a trip to beautiful Prague to record with a woodwind quintet. Finally, here are the results. In the coming weeks and months, we will dive into the creation process of these pieces, looking at early drafts and feedback rounds so that all of you will have a chance to take away something from this with hopefully some useful information regarding writing for woodwinds.

If the audio player above (or below) doesn't work for you, here is the direct link to the recordings.

Thanks again to the composers Adrian Gucze, Lukas Lindner, Sebastian Katzer, Lorenz Ulrich and Boris Bruchhaus who wrote some magnificent music for this session and of which three accompanied me to Prague.

And of course this recording wouldn't have been possible without the great musicians and team in Prague:

performed by members of the FILMharmonic Orchestra, Prague
Adam Klemens - Conductor
Robert Heger - Flute
Liběna Séquardtová - Oboe
Lukáš Dittrich - Clarinet
Luboš Hucek - Bassoon
Zuzana Rzounková - French Horn
Jan Holzner - Sound Engineer
Michael Hradiský - Assistant Sound Engineer
Petr Pýcha - Music Contractor and Recording Manager
Recorded in the Smecky Music Studio, Prague, 9th September 2021

I'm already planning the next Orchestra Discovery Session, so there will be a chance to join a session relatively soon again. 

If you like, feel free to follow the Orchestra Discovery Sessions Soundcloud Account, share the music and spread the word about this project and Patreon so we can reach our goal of affording regular full orchestra sessions where we can record music and experiment.
