We truly enjoyed today's luncheon speaker, Ari Lipsky. He is conductor with the Ann Arbor Symphony.
As our wondrous program chair Phil Zepeda brought us another outstanding program and speaker. The program for the day was a visit from the conductor for the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra, Arie Lipski.
Mr. Lipski is a cellist, plays the flute, has master of music with a B.S. in Aeronautical Engineering, who likes yoga, swimming and being a sous chef. He is also a guest conductor with the Hyfa Symphony Orchestra.
Arie lead the singing of the 2 national anthems by playing the anthems from memory on his flute . The fun continued with lessons on the flute and the cello and how the different notes were played on each instrument. He continued his program with a lesson on learning to be a conductor. He taught us about the different groups of instruments and how the right hand keeps the beat (meter) of the music and how the hands together directed the orchestra in the loud, soft, faster, slower parts of the music.
By the time Arie was finished we were singing a wonderful rendition of Happy Birthday to Lisa Hudy with loud and soft faster and slower sections. Thank you Phil for a super program!
