The Space Between the Notes - XXXV

Zum deutschen Text

“You can cage the singer but not the song.” — Harry Belafonte

There is so much music in my head. So many notes swirling around the rooms where I practice, so many harmonies exchanged in rehearsal, so much time poured into studying scores, so much music running through my mind when I lie in a dark room waiting for my son to fall asleep or sit in a train travelling from one concert hall to another.
There is so much music that one might expect one could grow full on it; that the body would reject such abundance after a time; that the tiny hair cells in our cochlea would lie down in protest, exhausted from all the pitch information flowing in.
But to me, there is no such thing as too much music.

In this month’s round-up, please find an invitation to a mini-festival in Berne that I’ve put together with Gwendolyn's Bridge Club and is bursting at the seams with an eclectic line-up of artists and music styles; a new mix “tape” in honour of Black History Month; a collection of photos taken at the “Global Beats” concert in Casino Berne last month; the BBC’s review of new release “LEGENDS”; and invitations to concerts I’m performing with Kim L’Horizon in Thun, Switzerland, and chamber music concerts in Braga, Portugal.
Enjoy the music!
