[Harp-L] Wichita Symphony

[Robert Bonfiglio <bon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Had three wonderful concerts with the Wichita Symphony performing the 
Villa-Lobos Harmonica Concerto plus Sir George Martins's "Three 
American Sketches" for Harmonica and String Orchestra.  All three were 
almost sold out with 2200 plus people at them.  Good Orchestra with 
Andrew Sewell conducting.

I have been getting some nice emails from George Martin thanking me for 
performing his work; I hope to record it soon.  It would be nice to 
have a "British Invasion" recording of the Martin with the Arthur 
Benjamin Harmonica Concerto and the Vaughan  Williams Romance along 
with the Malcom Arnold Harmonica Concerto.

After Sundays performance Maestro Sewell and I went to the local blues 
bar and joined Kirk Sorensen for the Sunday evening jam.  Kirk played 
some nice blues on his CX12.  I stuck to my Filisko Marine Bands - a 
lot of fun to play "Walkin' Blues" after playing a Harmonica 
Concerto!!!

Harmonically yours,

Robert Bonfiglio
