Link to the Show / Show Notes
As part of the 40th anniversary celebrations of the Huntingdonshire Music School we had an event, the 'Leader's Excuse-Me' on the Saturday evening. This concert provided an opprtunity to be entertained by the teachers/staff - makes a change for the boot to be on the other foot.
Luckily there was an audio-recorder in the neighbourhood so it was possible to record the evidence. It was some concert and full of variety and surprises. One of these was provided by Robin Norman, who directs the Senior Concert Band, who showed that rather than hiding his talents behind a bushel he had clearly been hiding his behind a large double E-flat tuba!
One of the pieces Robin played was Monte's Czardas (a gypsy dance - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Csárdás) - accompanied by Gwynn Jones on piano. Just listen to the pitch and length of notes (& speed!).
Wow!
We've a talented bunch at the music school. The teachers aren't bad, either!
They teach anyone from the age of 4 to 84+ - it's never too late to learn.
