A quick breath before the storm

Greetings from Paris, where yesterday after the first rehearsal of Amalgammes for the St Saens concerto concert coming up on the fifth I quickly rushed over to the banlieu (suburbs) of Paris to teach a soundpainting workshop. These are the same suburbs where cars were being blown up not too long ago. It sort of reminded me of morgan ave brooklyn in the early nineties. A bit rough around the edges. The st saens seems to be going well, and should be even better at the next rehearsal. I really can't say more than that yet. Orléans, the small easy, proved to live up to its name. a cute, sleepy city it reminded me more of switzerland than any of the very few towns in France that I've ever visited. I think a little house in this sweet little city would make a good change and ranks high among my short list of relocation points. A busy week in front of me includes more rehearsals and concerts, both in Paris and again in Orléans. More news to come so stay tuned...
