Performance will be held on:Dear Family & Friends,
I’d like to tell you about a series of performances starting late April that I think might interest you, especially if you’ve got family near San Francisco. I’m leaving this Friday for 3 weeks of work (fun) as a soloist with the prestigious San Francisco Ballet. At the invitation of the director of the ballet orchestra, I’ve been asked to perform the Philip Glass Concerto Fantasy for timpani and orchestra; a piece that requires 14 timpani divided among 2 players. The principal timpanist of the San Francisco Opera will be playing the second timpani part. The piece is part of a new critically acclaimed ballet choreographed by Jorma Elo titled “Double Evil”. I first met the SF Ballet’s orchestra director when I performed this physically demanding piece for the ballet’s Southern California premier at the Orange County Performing Arts Center as part of the SF Ballet’s recent American tour. As one reviewer put it, “innovative, fresh and blood-pumping, "Double Evil" is a thrill of its own”
If you have family or friends that would be interested in attending, or if you’ll be in San Francisco, please let me know. I will have available a limited number of comp tickets. The link for more info on the program is here, www.sfballet.org Look for program 8. Pictures of the performance venue are available at this link. www.sfballet.org/performancestickets/pl ... ahouse.asp
All good wishes will be very much appreciated. (And put to good use)
