Eisteddfods

Hi, Welcome to our Journey
As you can see we are identical twins and very passionate about music especially violin. We are 12 years old and have been given a wonderful opportunity to go to the UK for a musical educational experience, including meeting up with Nigel Kennedy (the famous violinist). We just need some help getting there.

Tune in soon, A & R



Rawhinia on the left and Astar on the right

Rawhinia and Astar had a busy week. On Monday they were busy practicing for Eisteddfods. Eisteddfods are held every year all over Australia and the world. Over the last week the string Eisteddfod was held on the Sunshine Coast. This was Astar and Rawhinia's first time to participate without an orchestra. The girls entered into the two sections, duet and trio (with a friend playing the third part). For the duet they played 'Bach concerto for two violins in D minor' (the first movement). Then for the trio they played Brandenburg's concerto for three violins. They were performing against children up to 15 years of age who have been playing a lot longer than them. Quite nerve-racking! Never the less they won awards for both pieces.
On the weekend we took Christabel to two art exhibitions in Brisbane. The girls want to tell you about them next week.

So tune in again next week,
Cheers, Katusha
