Yesterday, I was dragged off to a mystery concert by a friend.
It turned out to be a percussion ensemble which consisted of Xenakis' Persephassa for six percussion -- which I felt didn't have the proper acoustical setting since the piece is supposed to surround the audience, followed by a harmless melodic piece by an Argentinian composer whom I don't remember but name rhymes with MEOW and begins with a "V", and George Antheils' Ballet Mechanique.
Ballet Mechanique.
Since I had my earplugs with me, I survived.
Pleasant rehearsal today with the SMA. I think I shall go ahead and commit to the hour drive every Saturday as I feel there is much benefit to be had playing in the group setting.
