day nine.two

the Badke Quartet and Marie-Elisabeth Hecker did such a great job on the Schubert, and the capacity audience in the Lady Chapel seemed really, moved by the performance. Second time for MEH, and first time for the Badke, so it did have that slightly on edge energy that I had been hoping for. It was a first class concert.
Managed to pop into the school's screening of Shiraz at the Garrick trying to catch the half of the performance that I missed last night. Great to see so many kids in watching a film that they would otherwise never have watched. Both Sabri and I have been getting positive feedback from last night's performance - I really hope that we are able to get this up as a performance tour.
Ensemble 360 are currently in the Lady Chapel rehearsing Quartet for the end of Time, but they are only three quarters here - Matthew Hunt arrived home after weeks on the road to find his cellar flooded, so he's coming for the later rehearsal patch...
