Had a great time in Mexico

I am always amazed by the wealth of talent around the world. This was made clear again this past week as I traveled to San Luis Potosi, Mexico to play with their fine orchestra. I joined the Sax 4th Avenue Saxophone Quartet (headed up by my friend Shannon Ford) and guest conductor Lloyd Butler in a fabulous piece “New Moon” by Tonu Korvitz. Also featured on the work was a local mezzo-soprano Beatrice (last name???). She was fabulous! Great pitch, phrasing, and personality.

It was an American saxophone quartet joining a Mexican orchestra playing a piece by an Estonian composer using Celtic themes led by a British born conductor. A worldly event indeed!
