I had a very productive session with Peter Bay. We will do the interview in mid-January. I am culling material from the interviews for two versions of the film, a more general one for a wide, educated audience, and another geared toward musicians and students that could be sold to institutions.
I need to realize some commercial potential!

I was really happy with my student recital at the Regents School. Everyone rose to the occasion very well and I was impressed with the performances.

I will teach a full schedule this week then have a reduced schedule for two weeks. I will work on editing and preparing a recital and likely take a short trip to West Texas.

Die Schweiz

Posted in Uncategorized at 1:14 am by anthonytobin

I really had a special trip to Switzerland, the best ever. Aside from wonderful trips to Lugano, Geneva, Brig/Visp/Zermatt, Zurich, Basel, and Luzern:
Pilatus Chapel
I met with Manfred Bleffert at the Goetheanum and hope to do a concert there with him in the future. I also met with the Luzern Bechstein Dealer and hope to do a masterclass and concert. It was so nice to connect on several levels while I was there.

I had a great coffee with Austin Symphony Conductor Peter Bay 12/1 and we hope to do his interview with a violinist, oboist, clarinetist and possibly a harpist on the stage of the Long Center in Austin. It will be wonderful to include La Mer in my Debussy Project.
