Hi everyone,
I hope you’re having a good Spring. I have been very busy this Spring. I had my first piano students enter and perform well at the Lunenburg and District Music Festival, which was very “Circle of Life” as I used to do the music festival circuit back in the day. I also did a lot of accompanying for vocal students in Lunenburg and Bridgewater, and will be accompanying two talented singers for Music Theatre classes at the Music Festival Provincials (held here in Lunenburg this year on June 4th and 5th, keep an eye out for posters).
The other major musical endeavour I am currently involved in is the musical comedy Nunsense! at Petrie’s Halifax Feast Dinner Theatre. I play piano as Father Amadeus Beethoven (who is on loan from the Presbyterians). We opened last Thursday, and had some great audiences over the weekend. We have a couple more shows this week, then the Feast’s other show, Cod and Order, is on this weekend before we have a string of shows leading into our closing weekend. It’s a great show with a talented cast and band. If you have the chance to check it out, I recommend calling ahead for reservations at 420-1840. The Feast’s website is http://feastdinnertheatre.com/index4.htm This show is also a bit “Circle of Life” for me as I previously played second keyboard for Nunsense! when the Acadia Music Theatre students put it on.
In the midst of these musical endeavours, I also continue tutoring, doing tech support, and playing church organ. My thanks to my clients and my friends for being flexible and understanding with my currently hectic schedule.
Party on, everybody,
Gus
