I think it may be time to catch up on your piano progress. I will likely come since it is 0.5 miles from me - a 10 mins walk.
Hey, it would be great if you can make it. They don't tend to have huge audiences for these events (unlike Strathmore Mansion, where I'll be playing the same program next year), so my wife and I are trying to get lots of friends to come. Also, it would be terrific to see you again. I am still amazed at the fantastic job you did recording the Brahms concert that we did at the Lyceum.

You obviously didn’t get memo:
Performances by PW members are ALWAYS important 😊
I assume that means we can post about all the stuff we do that's open to the public. So yeah, I didn't get that memo. So advance notice. I'll be doing the wonderful Shostakovich Quintet with a fabulous group of string players in two recitals next year. Details will be forthcoming. Thanks for setting me straight dogperson.

You’re quite welcome. Many of us live too far to attend.... but you never know! Regardless, it’s great to hear about our members performances.

If I come tomorrow, shall I record your performance? I can bring my tripod. Don't mind at all.

So kind of you to offer. Yes, that would be great, on condition we can delete the recording if the performance goes terribly lol.

Good enough. You can give me a thumbs up or thumbs down Tyrone (lol), you are wonderful. Thanks for coming and recording. I'm not sure either performance deserves to be memorialized--possibly Valley of the vicious dog?--so I'll surely get back to you once I see the evidence. Cheers, mate.

Tyrone Slothrop, SiFi, and I will be attending a concert in Washington DC....
The Kennedy Center, Apr 18, 2020; Saturday 8 pm
Here are the official notes:
National Symphony Orchestra: Langrée conducts Brahms's First / Hough plays Beethoven
Saturday, April 18, 2020
National Symphony Orchestra
With its grand orchestration and stormy, romantic movements, Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto is a vital precursor to the composer’s “heroic†middle-period style, which the NSO explores later this season in Beethoven at 250. Stephen Hough effortlessly conquers the concerto, which demands remarkable mastery and range of color from the soloist. Brahms’s radiant First Symphony and Julia Wolfe’s Fountain of Youth complete the program, making a thrilling NSO debut for conductor Louis Langrée, Music Director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
Julia Wolfe - Fountain of Youth
Ludwig van Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37
Johannes Brahms - Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68

I live in the DC area, but don't like going to the Kennedy center; I need more motivation than a Beethoven concerto to deal with that place, particularly for a nighttime concert (which of course most of them are). The motivation is meeting some fellow PW members. We'll have drinks at a top secret lounge in the KC (shhhhhh) and perhaps we can be all convinced to find some dinner before or after.

Let's all get together in the lounge and meet one another. And if there's dinner, it's on me.

I was feeling jealous of Craig and Tyrone getting together for what looks to be a fantastic concert so I thought what might be on in Sydney when I am there. Wel, well, well. A Russian Gala https://www.sydneysymphony.com/conc...r9-ir5QIVh7PtCh1YpgTqEAAYASAAEgLXRvD_BwE

Oh, would love, love, love to join you in Sidney! If only it weren't half the world away! My partner (business partner) has a friend who lives on the bay, with a wide open view of the opera house. I saw pictures from a party he attended there....absolutely fantastic!
