QYS International Tour and my Fanfare!

[A.K.B.]

In a few days I'll be heading out to Singapore where I will start performing in a series of 10 concerts in Asia and Europe as part of the Queensland Youth Symphony.

I have been composing for the orchestra for a few years now and my piece "Fanfare for the Queensland Youth Symphony" is part of the repertoire for the tour.

It will be performed in Singapore and three locations in Germany.

Here is the first recording of the piece, made less than a month ago at Queensland's premiere performing arts centre. (QPAC)

This - as opposed to your other one, is a killer on the range. Trumpet and (especially) horn runs going upwards are pretty high. xD

I like it though.

[A.K.B.]

Luckily I have a hold of the best young musicians in the state. Unfortunately they weren't 100% prepared for this concert, it was sort of sprung upon them, so there are still some errors. However, in the upcoming concerts I'm expecting an even more polished result!

[A.K.B.]

Alright! I'll be on the plane tomorrow morning.

Bye!

[Madness]

Bye.

When and where will you play in Germany? As if I can be there, haeh, but I like the idea I could. =)

[A.K.B.]

Heh, I am already in Germany, in Bamburg in fact, going to play a concert tomorrow. More information can be found here: http://www.qyo.org.au/

[A.K.B.]

I am back from a tour!

Nice feeling having your music performed all over the world with an orchestra!

[teajay]

Great! So when will you come to Holland?

[A.K.B.]

Would like to go to Holland sometime...

But I met this really rude Dutch guy under the Eiffel Tower. Even the American guy we met commented on his rudeness.

I should upload some video recordings of the piece to Youtube.

[Igge]

I have never hated a nation as much as I hated Holland back when I was playing Tibia. They were the kind of people who would lie to each-other IRL just to make a little cash in-game. And they were rude to absolutely everyone. Extremely rude.

[Lousku]

Dutch people are superior (kind of like Norwegians) so it's only understandable that some of them would get a bit smug about it!

[teajay]

Don't worry, I'm very kind, eventhough I'm dutch.

[Grace]

It's generally widely accepted that the dutch tend to be rude people. There are exceptions of course.

[A.K.B.]

Here is one of the live performances. This one is in Bamburg.

Enjoy!
