As some of you might already know, myself and Mike Miller - luthier of my electric and baroque violins, and finger-style guitar player - got together a couple months ago to record some of our favorite tunes. What came about was this informal release - it will not be sold on my website, nor on iTunes or anywhere online.

Last Sunday, Peter Douglas and I gave our second in a series of 'Four Seasons' recitals, entitled "The Joy Of Spring". The program consisted of: J.S. Bach: E Major Violin Concerto (all movements) Mozart: Rondo Concertante in B-flat Major - with cadenzas I wrote myself, yay! Ginastera: Piano Sonata (first movement) Schubert: Am Bach im Fruhling (By the Brook in Spring) Wieniawski: Legende Vivaldi: Concerto in E Major, "Spring" (all movements) Beethoven: Sonata No. 5 for Violin and Piano, "Spring" (first movement) There was a small but wonderful crowd gathered in the Church of the Epiphany in Euclid, and it was an amazing afternoon for everyone - myself and the audience alike. It was a reminder that it's not just flowers and more sunshine that make spring joyful, but music, too. Yesterday I played a house concert with a friend of mine, Mike Miller (pictured below), for his mother's birthday celebration. There's something so wonderfully intimate about a house concert - ten or so people sitting around their living room, sometimes recording the music, sometimes munching on some snacks, but mostly sitting and listening intently (except for an adorably cute terrier named Max who was in his pen for most of the evening, much to his dismay). I love these settings so much, because of how close you are to your audience. Suddenly, there is no stage vs. crowd level; we sit at the same eye level, talk about the tunes being played, joke about the weather or just life in general, and relax in good company. An evening of good music, and good people.
Playing with Mike also lends me the chance to play some different things than I'm mostly used to, including beautiful Celtic tunes, older pop songs, and even a Beatles song once in a while. Every time he and I play together, we add a few more tunes to our repertoire list - but we never miss a chance to play Hector The Hero. |
