tune! The first time through, the soloist takes the
lead accompanied by some pizzicato and the

Celtica (for Solo Violin and Orchestra)—
Brian Balmages. What could be more inspiring to
your young players than playing with an advanced
musician? Offer the solo to a local high school or

of the solo to be played by a member of your
orchestra. It's a win-win situation for everyone!
Your players will love the chance to play the lyrical
lines and powerful, driving rhythms of Celtic music.
