🇩🇪Bad Klosterlausnitz 🔥Ein riesiger Erfolg heute! 🎶 🇿🇦 Started working on my new composition, Sandflower, today as I prepare for an upcoming concert! 🌼🎶 🇿🇦🎺 Wilderness Funk for Brass Quintet is now available on my website! 🇿🇦 This week, a friend and I had an interesting conversation about the “importance of social media.” 🇿🇦 I always hesitate to post pictures of my students but I think this one deserves a special place in the posts. Yesterday five students from the @jbbbk_jena performed in the final round of the @jugend_musiziert in Munich. They won second prize with 23/25 points. What is far more important is the story behind the scenes: the start of the ensemble being crowned in doubt over the formation (not being a standard brass quintet); doubt over whether the instruments would be “clear” enough because they were cornets and tenor horns and not trumpets and classic horns; an almost withdrawal from one of the members as they thought they were not good enough; and then the usual insecurities that come with young players trying to find their way. I could not be prouder of these kids. And I am chuffed that they played my composition “Wilderness Funk” all the way to the end with gusto and fun! All the above topics got the most positive feedback from the Jury. Toi toi toi you lot! 🇿🇦Sometimes I just want to have fun, make silly faces and wear pink shiny sunglasses. Feeling brave, might delete later 🤭 🇿🇦 A little sneak peek at one of the pieces we’ll be performing this Saturday! ✨ 🇿🇦 This was from the first rehearsal for the concert coming up this weekend. Come and join us! 🇿🇦 Spontaneous trips are the best! I followed my heart to Paris and discovered the breathtaking beauty of the Louvre museum. Until next time, Paris... 🇩🇪Spontane Reisen sind die besten! Ich bin meinem Herzen nach Paris gefolgt und habe die atemberaubende Schönheit des Louvre Museums entdeckt. Bis zum nächsten Mal, Paris... #musician #musiciantravel #backtoworktomorrow #paris #bestof
