Since we have the Bowlback of Note thread alive and well, perhaps one of this nature is needed. Here's one I just discovered Saturday, February 11, p. Trofimov : Concerto for Domra Sviridov arr. Trofimov : "Old Romance" from Blizzard Glinka arr. Trofimov : Kamarinskaya, Fantasy on two Russian folk tunes Schnittke arr. Trofimov : Carnival in Venice Rossini arr. Scheynkman Two Freilakhs arr. I hope this one will have a better fortune. Jim, Wow, I absolutely have to make this one.
When is Tamara performing in Yorktown? Cheers, Mark. Caterina Lichtenberg is doing a tour in Chile and Argentina Lucho, That is great news, I wish I was there. Please give us a full report of the performance! Buy any of her CDs that you can, they are all wonderful. Well, maybe not "of note", but this may be an opportune place to mention an upcoming concert by our little ensemble, the Wirral Mandoliers.
I don't have all the details yet, and will post an update when I do have the handbills that are currently being prepared. Not sure yet about starting time, but I believe pm. It'll be a joint concert with a local vocal ensemble and we will play four pieces together. In addition, we will play about five pieces on our own and the vocalists will sing about the same number without us and with a pianist.
There'll also be a guest solo vocalist about whom I know nothing: we'll not play together. The repertoire is quite varied I don't want to give too much away , but is probably best described as "light classical with some folkloristic touches". Nothing particularly virtuoso, but good fun and interesting arrangements. Certainly good fun to play; hopefully also good fun to listen to.
We're still deciding on some options for the playlist, but it looks like we'll have pieces by Chopin, Offenbach and Dvorak. If you're in or around Liverpool, come by and have a look and say hello afterwards! Yeah, I had tried to maintain a little thread that I'd called something like that to which Plamen refered, but it didn't last.
