Having an inclusive chamber music program open to all instruments and abilities inevitably results a few unusual ensembles, and finding repertoire is a amusing challenge! Sometimes an arrangement of an existing piece does the trick, and in fact some short baroque pieces lend themselves quite cheerfully to flexible instrumentation. But by utilizing the composers at the Conservatory, we can combine students of roughly similar ability in sometimes oddball instrumentations. ECHO SONG, for example, is for three guitarists and piano four-hands! live performance by students of Concordia Conservatory]]> http://mattvanbrink.com/2012/05/students_of_concordia_conserva_1.php http://mattvanbrink.com/2012/05/students_of_concordia_conserva_1.php schnitzelmusik Sun, 13 May 2012 14:24:51 -0500 Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, taking part in Bright Sheng's program there, called The Intimacy of Creativity.
