這個星期六有一場表演,

我們演出的曲目就是比才(Geogeos Bizet)的卡門(Carmen)

演出形式是音樂會形式,而不是歌劇形式

差別就在於沒有布景跟大製作,還有舞群合唱團等等龐大的開銷

但是演出是很一流的.......

結果萬聖節音樂會,

我決心當個惡魔了,,,,,,,



那天都是在表演電影配樂

是在下這週末拉的小小音樂劇

是在我家附近的教堂上演

他們已經這樣演了18年了,

因為他們沒有找其他的string player,

我就是唯一的弦樂代表~

這是我來LA之後的第一個Gig,

接到這個gig是因為史考特的一個朋友,

也是以前Henry Mancini Institute的一個工作人員介紹的

我還不太會發這個音...

這次接到了西貢小姐的Gig,

可以說是非常高興呢~

而且這次的女主角是由來自香港的26歲女生擔任

以往都是找菲律賓人來演出這個角色.....

當然如果自己接下了這個gig結果還不懂那在作啥的話就太不像話了

今天弄了好久的海報喔,

你可別看他這麼陽春,那可是花了我的心血的,呵呵 ~ ~

因為想在學校的印表機印,所以選擇使用了黑白色系,

這樣就可以省一些錢了....

這次是All-Mozart Concert, Sinfonia Concertante/ Sym. No41/ Piano Concerto,No19

Daniel Phillips,Violin/我Hui-Ping Lee,Viola/Gerald robbins,Pianist/Dong-Hyun Kim,Conductor



今天去聽了他們的rehearsal,去的時候在排練piano concerto,

When Brahms decided to write a double concerto for violin and cello, he had few recent precedents. During the Baroque era, composers had delighted in the concerto grosso, a concerto for orchestra with multiple soloists. Mozart composed several double concerti for two or three pianos, one for harp and flute, one for violin and viola, and one (of uncertain authenticity) for four wind soloists. From Beethoven came a triple concerto for violin, cello, and piano. Yet all those examples were decades in the past. Other than an occasional double piano concerto, Romantic composers of the nineteenth century never bothered with concerti for more than one soloist. Brahms, however, rarely interested himself in the same things that attracted others of his generation. This return to an earlier genre was typical of his life-long fascination with classic styles of composition, and it shows how he updated those styles to fit the grandeur of a Romantic orchestra. Although, in conception, his Double Concerto is the sort of piece that might have come from Mozart's time, it is given its fullest expression through the rich voice of Romanticism.

This concerto was Brahms' last concerto, as well as his final composition using the orchestra. Dating from 1887, it followed his fourth and final symphony by two years. In this work, Brahms may have planned to pay modern tribute to the Baroque ideal of the concerto grosso, yet he also hoped to kill two birds with one stone. He had promised his friend, the cellist Robert Hausmann a solo concerto, but had never gotten around to writing such a work. Also, he had recently had a falling-out with his long-time colleague, the violinist Joseph Joachim, who felt that Brahms had sided with Joachim's ex-wife during their recent divorce proceedings. Through the balm of one composition, Brahms hoped to soothe three souls: Joachim's, Hausmann's, and his own.

Since he had previously completed his Violin Concerto, two violin sonatas, and two cello sonatas, it would seem that he would have possessed the necessary familiarity to write for these two instruments together, but Brahms was less certain of his suitability. Himself a pianist, he felt insecure composing for a solo instrument that he could not play, and the fact that virtuoso players would willingly offer advice was not much comfort. As he remarked in a letter to his dear friend Clara Schumann, "It is quite a different matter writing for instruments whose character and sound one can only incidentally imagine, than for an instrument which one knows totally." She firmly reassured him as to his fitness for the task, and even offered her own home in Baden-Baden for the new work's first rehearsals. Its premiere was given in Cologne on October 18, 1887. Brahms himself conducted that performance. The soloists were the men for whom it had been written: Joachim and Hausmann. (Robert Hausmann and violinist Joseph Joachim )

今天終於是我們Central Park String Quartet的演出了,

雖然我們沒有練的很完美 ,

但是我們依舊抱持著全力以赴的心情上場,

在開演前的一個小時,我趕快去圖書館去印譜,好讓我翻頁,

violin phase可說是那場音樂會的高潮,

擔任tape track 1的我,可說是幕後功臣,哈哈.....

總是要覺得自己很重要吧~ ~

可是我要坦承我有失手,就是當solo violin 要加速的時候

我居然也故不得眼睛看的是節拍器,耳朵卻老是solo violin 的melody,

這次One World Symphony的音樂會,演奏"Giuseppe Verdi"的"Il Trovatore"

總共兩次演出(9/30,10/1),所以明天星期六晚上教完琴,又要趕著去Manhattan的中城

這次擔任演唱的歌手都是非常高水準的,所以在累的中間也算有一點點的慰藉

因為拉歌劇常常都只是伴奏角色,但是又非得全神貫注不可,因為隨時都可能會有Rubato

一不小心就會掉了拍子,所以很累的............

這是我至今最盛大的音樂會吧~

可以跟我親愛的老師Daniel Phillips合作,

還有面惡心善的指揮金東賢(Kim Dong-Hyum)先生,大家都叫他Dong,是位奇怪的韓國老兄~

音樂會時間是2005 09 23 晚上,地點在Queens College Lefrak Hall.

雖然自己是學音樂的,

但是有時候對於音樂的知識還是有不足的地方,

像是曲子的背景,作曲家的生平....



所以就想出來了這個點子,
