Saturday I'm playing in a studio orchestra for the Pacific Northwest Film Scoring Program where we will record original music for some student films. I've done this for the past few years and it is always a lot of fun.
A week from Friday my Sunday group has a gig at a local artwalk. I don't have many details other than when to show up! This Sunday I think we'll have to rehearse the program.
Last night our group got together for a potluck and after eating some really yummy food we broke out our instruments (well, I had to borrow our host's cello...he's the one who plays violin, viola, and cello) and tried out a different arrangement of Handel's Entrance of the Queen of Sheba that we liked much better than the string quartet arrangement we've been playing. This arrangement was scored for 2 violins, viola, cello, and 2 oboes and we are going to use this arrangement next week. We also ran through the Bach double violin concerto and it was really fun to hear our 2 soloists play!
And I'm home for 2 weeks!!! The last time that happened was in early March when I had a stretch of almost 2 weeks at home...
