I got to hang with Madcat where we judged a contest of 110 harmonica
players playing a movement of Beethoven Symphony!
Our mouths were wide open and that would pretty much describe what we
saw at the Asia Pacific Harmonica Festival. Some unbelievable
chromatic playing by players as young as 10. The technical level was
impressive.
i judged 50 chromatic players on a test piece and one solo piece, many
playing movements from Harmonica Concerti. The harmonica is alive and
doing very well in every combo from Trios to solo to full ensmeble in
Asia!
Haarmonically yours,
Robert Bonfiglio
BTW there are still a couple of spaces in the Grand Canyon Harmonica
Seminar left. Dates are Sep 1-5 with a concert on the 6th - Rob
Paparozzi and I doing the teaching. Email me if interested.
