GSMD consert #1

1st consert was a good success (30/09/11). All pieces were performed without any notable hitch and the small, but good, audience seemed happy at the end.

It took about 30 min to perform all the 6 new pieces along with the 6 "easy pieces" by Stravinsky.

The musicians were (from left on pic.)
-Mischa Momen (pianist)
-Helgi Ingvarsson (composer)
-Theodoros Chatzidis (composer)
-Hao Shen (pianist)
-Mark Simpson (composer)
-Justin Snyder (pianist)
-Elizabeth Winters (composer)
-Chiwan Rhys (pianist)
-Agata Gladysiak (pianist)
-Goncalo Gato (composer)
-Jeong Heum Yeon (aka´d "J") (pianist)
-Louis Chiappetta (composer)

The new pieces were:

-Untitled
by Mark Simpson (perf. Jeong Heum Yeon)
-One week
by Helgi Ingvarsson (perf. Mishka Momen)
-Definitely not a galop
by Elizabeth Winters (perf. Chiwan Rhys)
-Igor
by Theodorus Chatzidis (perf. Hao Shen)
-(kind of) A Waltz
by Goncalo Gato (perf. Agata Gladysiak)
-Retrospective Experimental
by Louis Chiappetta (perf. Justin Snyder)

Great fun to work with such talented people and an honor to be amongst them.

This week and the next we´ll record the pieces in the schools recording studio. I intended to record the consert on my Zoom H4 but it ran out of memory before the 1st piece was even over. Very sad and "noobish" on my behalf, but we´ll make it right.

The second picture shows Mishka performing my piece: "one week".
