Man of La Mancha

Having a blast performing in an amazing production of Man of La Mancha at the Westport Country Playhouse in Westport, CT.  To be in the hallowed halls where many of the greatest actors performed is quite the thrill. Pictures line the walls with the founders, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.  Their performance picture of Ancestral Voices with Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, and Matthew Broderick. A who's who of generations of theatre performers. A night of Sondheim with Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, and Kristin Chenoweth.

This is a special production as the musicians are on both sides of the balcony as part of the show giving the audience the thrill of what we do up close.  Then there's the all star cast of great ethnic diversity.
Lead-Philip Hernandez as Don Quixote who you may know from many TV series over the years.

Philip's performance every rehearsal and every performance is amazing and moving.

The show is running now through Oct 13th and seats are selling out fast.  Hope to see you there!
Come over and say "hello" after the show.

Both instruments were close in feel and response. I preferred the "Philly" model. Very nice horn! I was quite surprised to find I didn't like the Artisan Model. It was a good horn with nice color, but I felt the flexibility was a bit stiff, and the sound was good, but different enough for me to prefer the "Philly" sound. I felt there were some standard intonation issues that didn't work so well for me. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try a silver plated one as someone bought it before the day began. Jury is still out for me on this. But, I can't imagine the flexibility issues (for me) will change on the s

District Congratulations

All of my students who auditioned for districts did extremely well this year. Those that did not make it came VERY close. I am very proud of you all! Late congratulations go to Mark Soo who made Senior District and had a wonderful time at the event. Congratulations go to Michael Soo who as a Freshman missed getting into Senior Districts by one point. Michael made first chair in Junior Districts! Michael has only been playing for 2 years, so this is quite a feat! Congratulations to Christopher Souza who made Districts as a 7th grader. You rock, Chris!! Congratulations to everyone for working so hard and getting up in front of a judge with confidence!
