It’s an exciting time! Rehearsals for the 2014-15 concert season have started, the Brazilian ensemble has had two performances in the last week, with two more scheduled for this week. The flute choir repertoire is set after our reading session last week, and rehearsals start in earnest next week.
And CDs!
Last night I got a copy of the (nearly) final master for the upcoming Samba Laranja CD, featuring my work, Travels. I am so privileged to have been involved not only in the recording of Travels, but in both performing and giving artistic input on the rest of the CD as well. The last CD won a SAMMY – and honestly, this one is sounding even better.
Which has raised my excitement level for the new Trio Casals CD as well! I’m working closely with the sound engineers at PARMA right now, to get Three Songs sounding just perfect. (Not a difficult job, really, given the incredible performances by Trio Casals!) Now I realize what a difference it will make when I can hear it in context with the rest of the CD. I’m even more excited to hear the full master!
It’s also exciting – and a bit nervewracking – to watch the Indiegogo funding campaign. With just 18 days left, I haven’t quite hit the 20% funding mark. So here it is, another request for you to check out the campaign and make your contribution. Then share it with your friends and family, and ask them to support it as well.
Still not sure if you want to support a new and untried work? That’s understandable. And so I encourage you to read this article from Minnesota Public Radio.
