The SDSU Symphony Orchestra finished out the concert by performing Lyric Suite by Edvard Grieg. The Suite contains “Shepherd’s boy”, “Norwegian rustic march”, “Notturno” and “March of the dwarfs”. All of the sounds played in the “Lyric Suite” seemed to really reflect the title of each piece, for example “March of the dwarfs” hand very low volume for the majority of the piece and really reminded me of a Walt Disney song.

The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra was written specifically to introduce listeners to the instruments of the orchestra, which really gave me the opportunity to hear each instrument played live and individually. The instruments that played by the SDSU Symphony Orchestra were 12 violins, 6 violas, 4 cellos, 7 double basses, 3 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 6 French horns, 4 trumpets, 2 trombones, 1 bass trombone, 2 tubas, 4 percussionists, and 2 harpists.
