Music in the Round

Blog Saska September 13th, 2009

I want to do two things. Draw people’s attention to the fact, and then complain about the fact that I might not be able to.

Everyone should go to Monash for the Music in the Round music festival because one of my pieces is getting performed there. It would be really swell if I could see people there, it’s a fairly big moment for me, it’s basically my debut into proper performances, by really professionals, of my work. I’ve co-written this piece with a friend of mine, and it is really very cool. Hence it would be good for people to come.

On the downside, however, there is a strong possibility that I myself won’t get to see the piece performed due to being on stage at the same time as the performance is scheduled, about 10 minutes away. Which is ridiculous, and makes me angry.

Very angry.

I want to see the piece, I really do. I don’t want to just see the rehearsal an hour before, I want to see the actual performance, with an actual audience. To hear the announcer stumble over my name (as is usual, I should start calling myself Tom or Fred or Alex (my middle name)), to watch the slightly bemused expressions of the audience who probably won’t quite get the music but will enjoy it all the same, to hear the applause. Name in lights, sparkly tights, dancing, I want it!

*Sigh* So it goes.
