when encores go wrong

October 28, 2007 at 3:13 AM

Well, I just played a peculiar concert. Our soloist played her own arrangement of Paganini that included violin, singing (a bit like a Theremin) and playing the piano. She also played and a movement from Piazzolla's 4 seasons. Her encore was truly bizarre, as it involved singing "Summertime" while playing a viper and doing some oddball dance moves (including the splits). It was only missing a snake and/or pole. Anyway, I don't know that our typical audience was quite ready for that type of performance art. I know I wasn't!

It sounds strange, indeed, to me.

Send them to Glasgow; that'll straighten them out. (See Sarah Chang review in next blog.)

Greetings,
you didn`t say to what degree they were clothed. That would make a difference for me I think,
Cheers,
Buri
