Oh my! So many things to do!
The reason I haven’t done much (read: any) writing over the past 10 days is because I’ve been practicing and rehearsing for not one, but two gigs this weekend:
First of all, on Friday night, the inaugural performance from The Tea Set (myself on harpsichord, Leah Scholes on percussion). This is not only our first gig as a duo, but also the launch of a seasonal concert series: one concert for each season. We start our seasonal journey with perhaps the most poignant season of all – autumn; when leaves turn brown and red, the days shorten and one can almost feel the earth turning underfoot.
So, what will you experience? Golden and auburn gems of repertoire by baroque and modern composers, improvisation, collaboration, inspiration, and maybe some stamping and shouting!
Wear your best autumnal attire, sip on the bounty of late-harvested grapes and let the season unfold around you in sound.
