At the end of the year, the local youth orchestra organisation holds a Finale concert in which all the three symphony orchestra, two wind orchestras, and juniour string ensemble perform a work which showcases the ensembles achievement from the year passed. Last year we did Copland El Salon Mexico, the year before was the 4th movement of Mahler 1. I am looking for suggestions for a work to do this year, I am having a mental block. We have just performed Shostakovich's 5th, and have started work on Bruckner 6, but for some reason the conductor doesn't want to use either of these. The conductor has this stupid idea about doing Wagner Tannhauser Overture, which I think is a really dumb idea - it'll put the audience to sleep. Does anyone have any good suggestions? Preferably something between 10 and 15 mins long. We did Mussorgsky Night on Bald Mountain earlier this year and I was going to suggest doing this again, but people seem against it. Any suggestions would be appreciated, but keep in mind we're not the Chicago Symphony
