Hello everyone! I am still here, and I didn't want all of November to go by without me posting. I am healing and finding time to play as well. One exciting thing is I've been asked to play a piece at the Christmas concert which will take place in Kilfenora Cathedral, a 1000 year old church! A dream come true!
I decided on my piece. I will play Black is the Colour (I do it as an air) / The Blackbird. Because I will only have three minutes, I had to pare things down, so I'll do the air twice through and The Blackbird only once through (AA BB).
Another gig!
I just got another gig playing at an awards ceremony this Thursday! The awards are from the Burrenbeo conservation trust!
Also I have learned a new tune (all in one day!)--The Kilfenora Jig (sometimes called The Clare Jig). In honor of my new home. I am also going to play it at the gig along with anything from this area, like The Cliffs of Moher, The Mist Covered Mountain, and all the Junior Crehan tunes I can get up to performance ready standards.
Great photo and equally great news! I am just coming up for air after big snowstorm and the mayhem it produced surrounding Thanksgiving! Playing in that cathedral really does sound like a dream come true moment! Bet the acoustics are incredible! So glad things are progressing for you- it sounds like you are in the right place. Enjoy the season! love, Sharon
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon! Thank you! Yes, it is actually known for its great acoustics! It will make even little old me sound fab! Snow already--yikes!
ReplyDeleteHi Andee I am going to comment here and above. We've had two whopping snowstorms and the second really was a doozy. We were locked in up here for two days! We had power, being off the grid, but many other folks did not. I will try to post about harp playing sometime today. I am so happy that these wonderful gigs, especially the one in the Kilfenora Cathedral are happening!
