This day in 2014 was the US premiere of Steve Mackey's Dreamhouse in Avery Fisher Hall, New York (Synergy team Micaela Haslam, Heather Cairncross, Andrew Busher, Michael Dore) with New York Phil, Rinde Eckert and Catch guitar 4tet conducted by Jayce Ogren). It was also a birthday trip for me, and Will and I enjoyed our favourite bridge (Brooklyn), Central Park, and a first visit to the breath-taking 911 Memorial waterfalls. We've enjoyed so many amazing Synergy projects in New York. I do hope we can return before too long.
Pooooooo.........l!
What a fab time we had!... & so love performing Steve’s wonderful Dreamhouse! Xx
On this day in 2011 we had our first of 12 performances of Rain Live (Music for 18 with dancers) at the magnificent Opera Garnier. We were in Paris for the best part of 3 weeks and much fun was had by all. Sad to see so many cancelled Rain Live projects going by in the group diary, but I hope they can be rescheduled for next year.
Ah yes, I remember it well
On this day in 2006, Heather Cairncross, Rachel Weston and I performed Berio's Laborintus 11 together for the first time in Stazione Leopolda, Florence (formerly Porta al Prato station). We were working with the very fine Tempo Reale ensemble, conducted by Danilo Grassi. Talia Berio sat listening attentively to our rehearsal, and we nervously watched her making copious notes on "post-its" and sticking them in her score. Bracing ourselves for a grilling in the break, we were mightily relieved to learn that only one of them was for us - and a minor detail at that. Phew!
