So I'm trying my best to make this year be the best it can musically. I've already arranged Robert Fertitta's organ concert at my church on April 29th, 2011, but there is still more to focus on!
Keeping in mind that I too am an organist and I need to keep up with learning as a performer, I've started work on Cesar Franck's Cantabile from Trois Pieces. It's a gorgeous piece and quite fun to play. The organ at my church does not have the resources to do it justice, so I'll have to perform it someplace else.
This reminds me that I'd like to play some concerts outside of Bloomsburg this summer. I've spoken with several people about the possibility of playing concerts in Richmond, Staunton, and Charlottesville, VA as well as in Indianapolis, Wilkes-Barre, Los Angeles and elsewhere. None of these plans are official, just speculation at this point, but I would love to do a few of them and the Cantabile would be great for them.
In the meantime, I'm working on several accompaniments for my school choir, to be played for our winter and spring concerts. After the spring concert, we have an annual Pops concert (always INCREDIBLY fun!), for which I'd like to accompany some solo on piano, or play piano myself as solo.
In terms of singing, my voice has really began to develop now that I've joined my school's regular choir and the 'Fusion' choir (a select choir), and my church choir. I auditioned for County and District chorus for Tenor 1 and made both of them!
Lots of music this year. I'll keep you all updated!
