TEMPO NZ Music Night

Well - the week is finally here.

At the beginning of the year when I first moved to Blenheim I was asked to perform as part of NZ Music Night for TEMPO as one of their guest artists. 

There was no hesitation, and the piece to play was a 'no-brainer'.  Whilst in Auckland studying for the DipMEM Hemi and I wrote a piece called Flight.  For me it was one of those pieces you write when you're homesick.  You think of all the truly magical things home represents and how you wish you had the ability to take off through the clouds home.

This piece for viola and guitar we played for BOOM in 2007 and I have played numerous times in Auckland as part of my role with the APO to demonstrate the haunting beauty and rich tone of the viola. 

Returning to Blenheim was the perfect opportunity to perform once again with the added advantage of the guitar as it was originally written. 

However Hemi is no longer playing on Friday night.   I will therefore play it unaccompanied once again.

It should be a wonderful evening with students performing and watching.
