Coming to Comic Con...
Who's coming to Comic Con? I'm conducting a show there on July 12th: Symphony of the Goddesses. Come to the show and say hi afterwards, E xo
to wit..
We're off to Houston for The Symphony of The Goddesses on July 4th (Link, that big-eared so-and-so wouldn't give us the day off!) so check out the mayhem on my Twitter account @eimearnoone
Symphony 47
Every Monday morning I have the great pleasure of rehearsing/reading/workshopping every type of orchestral music imaginable with my dear friends from Symphony 47 at the Musicians' Union in Hollywood. This is one of the most beautiful groups of people out there and I treasure every moment with them. That's me with the blurry arms and my friend, associate conductor, Luca Ciut in the second picture. Symphony 47 is entirely voluntary and made up of a motley collection of current union members, retired union members, students and anyone who wants a great old time on a Monday morning. The Local 47 (The Musicians' Union) has graciously opened up membership to non-union members and we have a total blast together workshopping concerti with fabulous soloists, reading through new works by composers we know and every now and then I'll invite a "celebrity guest" conductor to work with us. There's nothing like starting with week by blowing out the cobwebs with a bloody great Beethoven overture. There's absolutely no pressure and a lot of laughter; usually at my expense... sacrifices, sacrifices... Thanks to Dr. Janice Foy, Floyd Clark and Vice President of the Local 47, John Acosta - the dreamers of dreams behind this project - for inviting me to be part of something that is one of the brightest jewels in my week. (Dang it! How do I get this thing to make paragraphs?!) For those that want to come and join us (that means you, film and game composers who've let their instruments go to rust and rot!) send an email to Symph47@gmail.com. You'd never know who you might meet there in Hollywood on a Monday morning... Exo

TURN IT UP TO ELEVEN
Watching Spinal Tap... again. "Britain's Loudest Band" - How can you not LOVE IT?
The Big Blue
So, here's a photo taken from the front of our building. Our neighbor (Yes, AmericaniZed spelling) is about to launch himself into the blue oblivion with his kite surfing madness. He's that speck on the beach.
Today IS the day the blog begins. I'm finally getting my act together and launching myself upon the poor unsuspecting blogosphere. So, what's all this then? Hopefully, I can share some interesting goings on in the colorful world of composers and conductors and yes, my European friends, I will be using AmericaniZed spelling, much to the horror of my Irish Virgoan self. Thanks to Jeron for taking the photo in the background. It's the Symphony of the Goddesses show at the Orpheum in Vancouver.
