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

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.
