    Best greetings,

    How wonderful! I wish both the very, very best— which they surely deserve!

    What "poetic irony", too... For as happy as I was to write my Antwerp Harbor for my friend Joe Brent, I could not help but think, "Mandolin and harp! Who else will ever play such a piece?" Think again: Ferdinand and Annegreet gave SUCH a lovely performance of this dreamy, misty, foggy score last October that I had to reconsider my earlier skepticism. Apparently they have taken this score and run with it. Once again, the outcome is far beyond my wildest, most optimistic expectations.

    Along the same lines, a colleague recently asked me for a second composition for mandolin and bass (second, that is, to my earlier Garlands, written for Chris Acquavella & bassist Jeremy Kurtz). Once again, the sly Muse is winking at me from the most unexpected angles...

    Cheers to all those amazing, extraordinary mandolin + You'd-Never-Imagine-What duos!

    On the 12th of November Het Vers Ensemble will perform besides the Guitar Concierto by Victor Kioulaphides (original date of the concert was 7th of October) als a new work by young Dutch composer Paul van Vulpen for mandolin, guitar and double bass: Speedrun.

    Paul has written before for a.o. The Metrople Orchestra and the WDR Rundfunk Orchester. So you can imagine we were honoured he was willing to write a piece for us.

    Paul has a digital preview on his soundscloud account of Speedrun that I wanted to share with you: Speedrun (digital preview)

    On September 29th at 3pm, I will be playing a concert of 18th century mandolin music along with two colleagues as part of Colonial Williamsburg's Early Music Festival. We will be playing two sonatas (I and V) for two mandolins and continuo by John Gualdo from his Six Easy Evening Entertainments written in Philadelphia in the late 1760s, a Barbella sonata in D major for mandolin and continuo, Mozart's two songs for mandolin and voice, "Divertimento no. 7" for two mandolins by Cedronio, a piece from J.B. Miroglio's Huitieme Suite des Amusments des Dames, an arrangement of Turloch Carolan's piece "Carolan's Draught" with the 18th century continue realized for lyra viol, and an overture for two mandolins and continuo by Gian Francesco Eterardi. Playing along with me will be Doug Austin on mandolin and Lynn Trott on viola da gamba.

    Hello all,

    Unfortunately I couldn't be there, but I just heard that Ferdinand and Annegreet gave a splendid performance of Victor's "Antwerp Harbor".

    Something - hopefully - for next time...

    Best, Alex.

    Having witnessed another fine performance of this very same piece by this very same duo about a year ago, I am delighted but not at all surprised to hear that this performance, too, was splendid. I didn't even know it was on the program...

    Three cheers for Ferdinand and Annegreet!

    Sometimes, not even the performers themselves know that a piece is on the program! Remember the time Sebastiaan broke a string and, while he was backstage, furiously restringing his mandolin, Eva went ahead and played my Sonatina Commedia dell'arte?

    A great success, caused by... spontaneous combustion.

    Oh, sure... I'll take such good news, anyway, any day.

    Cheers,

    Victor

    Default PMO concert, CMSA, Friday Night

    The PMO will perform on Friday night at CMSA along with the BMQ, and the Pittsburgh Mandolin Orchestra.

    Attached are the program notes for our portion of the concert. We'll be performing three pieces: an arrangement of Astor Piazzolla's "Oblivion"; the world premiere of a new work by Owen Hartford, the "Neponset Valley Suite"; and the US premiere of Victor Kioulaphides, "Sinfonia a pizzico". My understanding is that the concert is free and open to the public.

    Hi All,

    Just back from a fabulous Paradiso concert in Amsterdam.
    To keep 'Paradise' memories alive, here is a photo of Ferdinand Binnendijk and the members of the Nederlands Kamerorkest just before their absolutely wonderful and 'never to forget' performance of Vivaldi's Mandolin Concerto.


    Best, Alex.

    This is the CMSA's En Masse Orchestra for 2011 performing "Hues of Dusk" by Victor Kioulaphides. I hope you enjoy viewing the performance as much as we did performing it.

    Many Thank you's to Jim Bates for his direction and Victor Kioulaphides for his composition. Also thank you to the Mandolin Cafe (Scott T.) for providing a place to showcase performances like this.

    Today at 3 I'm giving a masterclass on mandolin technique and orchestral/chamber repertoire for The New World Symphony, and later on I'm playing Ancient Voices of Children with their chamber music series. Then tomorrow night, I'm doing Beethoven's Sonatine as part of their composer 'Journey' series, which presents the music of a single composer in a format that includes orchestral, chamber and solo examples of their work in their beautiful new Frank Gehry-designed concert hall, along with projections, lighting, and talkback with their artistic director Michael Tilson Thomas. Yesterday MTT told me the Beethoven mandolin pieces were his favorite pieces of music, especially the Variations! I said he had good taste.

    The San Francisco Mandolin Orchestra fall season concert tickets have just gone on sale! Info and tickets.

    4:00 pm Sunday, October 30th
    All Saints' Episcopal, 555 Waverly St, Palo Alto

    7:30 pm Friday, November 4th
    Mission Dolores, 16th and Dolores, San Francisco

    4:00 pm Sunday, November 6th
    All Souls Episcopal, 2220 Cedar St, Berkeley

    4:00 pm Sunday, November 13th
    First Church of Christ Scientist, 522 "B" Street, Petaluma

    Our fall season's repertoire includes the sweeping strains of Finnish composer Sibelius’ “Rakastava” (“The Lover”), and “Romance in C” and the icicles of Vivaldi’s classic “Winter Concerto.” We mix in with this Norwegian composer, Grieg’s famous “Peer Gynt Suite” and the well-known “Morning Mood” and “Hall of the Mountain King,” and end with a piece by David Grisman, celebrating the 100th birthday of Blue Grass legend, Bill Monroe – just to show that the mandolin has an American repertoire all its own. Winter – the cool concert – shines another new light on the capacities of the mandolin and the San Francisco Mandolin Orchestra, a community orchestra of 20-25 players of mandolin, mandola, octave mandolin, mandocello, guitar, and bass, under conductor Nicola Swinburne Bocus, and with soloist Achille Bocus. As the days grow shorter, you are invited to be a part of this musical celebration of the coming of winter. We hope some of our Mandolin Cafe friends can join us!

    Hi MLT,

    Thanks for sharing; really great videos! I've seen some great photos made during the CMSA meeting by Plami. It must have been a great time this year. Hope to join you all sometime soon in the future.

    Thank you Alex. I have one more video from the concert to post on my youtube channel in the next day or so.

    It would be great to meet you in person (as it was with Plamen, Victorr, Jim, etc. this year). Maybe we will see you in 2012 in Minneapolis?
