Welcome to our new website! Its creation and launch have been in the works for a few weeks. We are excited to have a web presence and keep everyone informed of the group's activities. Please have a look around, and leave a comment on the blog here or send a contact form letting us know what you think.
At our rehearsal today, in addition to playing great music, we spent some time planning out our schedule for the next couple of weeks. With three busy performing musicians, it can be difficult to coordinate! We are excited to be going into the recording studio on July 17th to capture the sounds of Bateira. With the results, we hope to more readily share our sound with a wider audience. Included on our session repertoire list is Schulhoff's Concertino, originally written for flute, doubling piccolo, viola, and double bass. We also plan to capture Vivian Li's composition, written especially for Bateira, entitled Anywhere That's Wild. Consisting of four movements, each with its own unique challenges, we will be working to efficiently use every moment of our rehearsals leading up to the session. The rest of the works to be recorded have been arranged, rewritten, and transcribed for our ensemble by Conway and Satoshi.
Meanwhile, Sandy and Satoshi will be performing in the NY Philharmonic's Summer Classics concerts. If you're in the area, make sure to check them out! Concerts are both at Avery Fisher Hall and in many of New York City's public parks before the orchestra departs to Vail, Colorado for a two week residency. Visit nyphil.org for details.
