Was That Too Much ? Well there ya go. Funny thing is chances are your not going to be able to handle a live #Orchestra either. They can and often do tear heads off. You won’t find them apologizing

Agreed to fill in in a community orchestra nearby for a concert end of May. I’m glad they’re not doing this movement in pro-orchestra tempo because it’s brutal enough to practise as it is.

Combining playing bassoon and singing in the same day is somewhat challenging it turns out. For singing my face, tongue and throat have to as free as possible. Bassoon playing tends to cause all kinds of little tensions to creep in.

Canada’s national orchestra to honour Indigenous music during Nova Scotia shows
The last time Canada's national orchestra performed in Eskasoni First Nation, Mi’kmaq singer-songwriter Emma Stevens was a young teenager volunteering at the show.

Cowley Orchestra

Had a blast with the kid at possibly the best Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra event I’ve seen in years. Coincidentally, I got to see some old friends I hadn’t seen in years.

In case the image doesn’t make it clear, they displayed the film while playing the score live. It made for an unforgettable viewing of a movie I’ve seen dozens of times.

I also got the inside scoop on next year’s film score. 🤐😄

Ended the weekend and welcomed the week after a walk with Skies of America the 17th album by jazz saxophonist Ornette Coleman, released on Columbia Records in 1972...

..Coleman took a sabbatical to Montana in 1965. Coleman witnessed a group of Native Americans and it inspired him.

"It was so cold," he said of that time in Montana. "It must have been 2 or 3 below zero, and when I saw the American Indians praying, doing their purity ritual, they looked like their bodies were transparent. All of a sudden, I saw the American Indian and the sky as the same people. It taught me something about religion, race, wealth, poverty, commerce. I said: 'Oh, I'm going to go over to the other side. I only want to be on the side of the consciousness that comes to people naturally.'" - Wikipedia

#Rehearsals & #Soundchecks..
.. are the best times, the most intimate times ..
.. freedom to roam, to find the light and the angles ..
.. sometimes within the #orchestra , sometimes the furthest corner as this image from @lsostlukes shows - #lightandshade @edibow and @ollycoates for @ldnsoundtrack
