Shaolin

Spent the weekend in Mass for the Gigantor! premiere. Had a fantastic time - got to meet some nice people, signed autographs (yes - I don't know why people ask. I just do it), and was treated to the most shaolin-influenced performance of a work that I've ever witnessed.

Here are some pics:


This is a picture of the hall that Gigantor! was premiered in. Just imagine it about 3/4 full.



This is a picture of the band on stage rehearsing. Shaolin all the way!



And another pic: this one of the band being grilled on counting! Count!


Here's a pic of some Gigantor! score pages posed with some true, homemade maple syrup given to me by a band director I helped out with project.

Congrats on the premiere, Rafael! Did you get video to post on YouTube? Audio? I wanna hear it!

Greetings Rafael! I'm the bass clarinet player in one of your pictures, with the blonde pony tail. I'm glad I found this, it was an honour premiering the piece!
