1. What are we interrupting (i.e. what music-related activity are we taking you away from to write this)?
At the moment I got this email (Monday, June 10), I was getting ready to go perform a concerto with the newly formed orchestra, Euphonia, at the Lula Lounge.
2. What, if anything, are you most looking forward to as an audience member between now and September 7?
The Canadian Flute Association is having its first convention at the end of June in Oakville and there will be so many performers from around the world to listen to!
3. How about as a music maker/player?
Well, the above convention also includes myself playing a recital with pianist Richard Shaw from England.
4. What are you already preparing for musically beyond the summer? And (how) do your summer plans tie in with these longer term plans?
Beyond the summer I have a few projects that are still in the working out stages. Mainly to do with recording and perhaps video as well. So, the repertoire for that is what I'll be concentrating on preparing this summer.
