The quartet was often on tour with the composer Wilhelm Stenhammar at the piano.1889 1902 Aulin was the leader of the orchestra at the Royal Opera in Stockholm.At Aulinsinstigation the Concert Association in Stockholm (later The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) was founded in 1902, and he was its conductor until 1909.

Poltergeist - John Prescott

Spooky sound effects abound in this rollicking work which depicts a familys encounter with a poltergeist in their home. Through foot stomping, percussion effects, instrument key and valve clicking, and other added effects such as ghostly laughter, the band creates a scary yet mischievous environment for the family. As the constantly-increasing tempo at the end of the work suggests, the family is eventually chased from their own house by the relentless and playful poltergeist. Create even more fun by encouraging your students to create their own special effects for an even spookier atmosphere.
