Hey guys! My school orchestra director told us to come up with suggestions for pieces to play in our winter concert. Can you guys give me suggestions? +k for suggestions with a good cello part! Since everybody in the orchestra is pretty good, don't be afraid to suggest some pretty hard pieces

dont know how to imbed, but seriously consider claire de lune by debussey. such a sick tune. for something longer, the firebird suite (i think thats what its called) by stravinski

As far as strings go, I love the Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker.

Dude, we played that last year and it was great! I'm thinking maybe tchaik 5 or Bartok's Rumanian folk dances is a possibility this year

I may be wrong on the genres, but adagio for strings and bittersweet symphony(instrumental).

Pachebel's Canon in D is one of my favourite pieces of music, and i reckon it would fit what youre looking for. Or if you want something a little different, Sibelius' Karelia Suite. its in three parts and each is quite different, would definitely be an impressive one.
