It's definitely time for me to get blogging again, before memory rot sets in. |
One of the most incredible experiences of my career to date was performing at the Sydney Opera House with the fantastic Sydney Symphony Orchestra in February. |
That iconic bastion of music and architectural brilliance simply takes your breath away. It absolutely reminds you of the famous Goethe quote: "Music is liquid architecture; architecture is frozen music". |
The orchestra was electrifying, the opera house magnificent and the staff of the house treated us like family. |
It simply couldn't have been a better experience. |

Evidently the Aussies have a great sense of humor... (So does The Almighty judging by some of the lizard-life I saw there) All joking aside, I've seen some serious weaponry come through the doors of many a concert hall at this point so the Opera House staff didn't know how actually appropriate their "joke" was to us.  |
The Australian media were there to greet us and we got to do a fun featurette from the creative geniuses at ABC's Spawn Point. It's an exciting piece that shows off the orchestra beautifully to a new young audience. |
The Sydney Morning Herald came to interview us, curious as to what we were getting up to... invading Sydney with our swords and shields perhaps?  |

I can't take my eyes off you when you're on stage. You conduct as though you're dancing, and that smile -never- dissipates. I've never seen such expression before, and I've never seen anyone conduct like you.
