On August 1, 2025, five members of the AYLUS RC Classic Music Band gathered for the very first rehearsal of the Croatian Rhapsody quartet. This piece has been chosen for our upcoming performances on October 4 and 5, giving us just two months to prepare.
The rehearsal began with one hour of sectional practice, during which the three different instruments—violin, piano, and flute—worked separately to become more familiar with their individual parts. Following that, the group dedicated the next two hours to ensemble practice, working through one section by section. Although there were several moments of confusion during the process, everyone steadily improved and grew more coordinated as the rehearsal progressed.
By the end of the session, the ensemble successfully completed the first one-third of the score together. The members were very satisfied with the outcome of this initial rehearsal and felt encouraged by the progress made.
Each of the five participating members practiced for a total of 3 hours.
Participants of the rehearsal:
- Ryan Kan
- Emily Tang
- Qingxiao Hu
- Xinyu Hu
- Haoran Xu
