Planets, WCSFO on air
Broadcast – My November 3, 2007 concert with the WCFSO will be featured on Iowa Public Radio’s Symphonies of Iowa series this Saturday morning at 10:00 am. [As always, time given is local.] This event featured a major commission from visual artist Gary Kelley, who created a series of evocative paintings and works on paper that were filmed by Scott Smith and presented alongside our performance of the Planets.
Here we are rehearsing Neptune the Mystic with Gary’s imagery. Lining everything up was not an easy task since Scott’s video piece involved constant motion in addition to edits and pans cued to the music. But the result was thrilling – read the review here. We are continuing work on this project and hope to make it available to orchestras nationwide in the future.
PS – Still hoping that IPR will establish an iTunes/mp3 stream.
