Hi everybody,
Well, it has been busy since my last email-newsletter-thing. “Kurt Weill: From Berlin to Broadway” finished its run, and had an excellent closing night. The Chester Playhouse’s Champagne Gala was also fun. I accompanied several numbers, and even did a self-accompanied solo – “Domingo” (Dad’s song parody of Bernstein’s “Maria”).
Speaking of “Domingo”, I have finally put the music video I made of it in the spring online, you can check it out at http://gmedia.gnote.ca/
The rest of the summer consisted of me helping a fair bit in the bookstore, as well as “chillin” (as the kids say). I got swept up in another last-minute production at the end of summer, though, as my friend Johnson Romkey and I got called on to do music for an environmental play called “Sea Salt and Brine!” at the Lunenburg Academy. We had a few numbers to play in the show, and also entertained the crowd for about half an hour beforehand (Johnson on drum kit, myself on keyboard and a little singing).
Now, Johnson and I have taken our act on the road… inasmuch as we’re back at Acadia, and ready to play a Coffee Haus! We’re the last set this Wednesday, the show starts at 9pm in the Michener Lounge, and I’m told we’ll be on around 10:50pm. So, if you’re in the area, check it out:D
Finally, this fall I have been the rehearsal accompanist and assistant chorus director for Maritime Concert Opera, which is putting on Puccini’s “Suor Angelica” in two weeks. The chorus is sounding great, and I look forward to sitting in the audience and seeing the show. It’ll be playing Liverpool on Wed Nov 15th, Halifax on Fri Nov 17th, and Lunenburg on Sat Nov 18th.
