Subj: [kl] American Independence Day Concert
Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 23:21:24 -0400

Hi

Just thought I would let Brisbane peeps know, I will be presenting an All American Concert on 4th July American Independence Day at the Albert St Church in Brisbane city at 1pm. Gold coin donation. The idea came about when I was discussing concert themes with the organist of the church, and we found the July Sundays at Albert St Series concert fell on July 4th. It's going to be a ripper of a concert. I will begin with Five Old American Songs for Clarinet and Organ, arranged by Sclater. Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen and Amazing Grace being the jazziest. Then the Bernstein Sonata. The organist Greg Hartay-Szabo will then give me a breather with a Sousa march. Then follows the Copland Sonata. To round off the concert, I will be playing Sargon's Deep Ellum Nights. I fell in love with the piece from Jonathan Cohler's recording of it on his Cohler on Clarinet CD and am delighted to be able to play it now. Would it be an Australian premiere? Still in discussions about the end of the concert, but I'm hoping the organist will then finish the event with a rip roaring rendition of the American National Anthem.

The concert is going to be a huge amount of fun. It is my second recital this year at the Albert St Church, following two recitals and a cameo appearance with the Redcliffe City choir last year, and my third recital this year in Brisbane. The other recital being the second part of my Duets for One series at St Andrews Uniting Church on Ann St, just down the road from Albert St Church, and half a dozen blocks from my workplace on George St.

If anyone in the Brisbane area could let their students know, that would be great!

Also, as with my previous concerts, the concert will be uploaded onto my YouTube channel kathywilliams76 in the week after the concert. I do not get paid for these concerts, and am very open to anyone who would like me to play a fundraiser concert for their charity/church/community group. I raised over $500 last year for high school chaplaincy in The Gap, and would love to contribute more.

Here's a link to a preview of Amazing Grace
