School Concert Season Pillows

Welcome to the lower grade concert. We will premiere an avant garde song cycle with unexpected solos, parts of melodies that may seem vaguely familiar and musicians who leave the stage for no apparent reason. Enjoy!

"Just be yourself."

A Symphony of Penguins

Robert Fripp

'Nothing beats seeing your favourite band play live.'

Cimafunk

Rhapsody in Blue.

Felix Mendelssohn

Anna Calvi

"Well, that's the only song we know, so we can play it another two or three times, or we can cut our losses. Waddya say, Cleveland?"

"I wrote this next song about my cat. It's called 'Please stop rubbing your face against my computer screen when I'm trying to watch Narcos.'"

Jazz quartet, piano, bass, sax and drums

EWE 2.

'Why don't you ever look at ME that way?'

Yearbook

"This next one's another oldie."

I love my Timpani

George Michael

"10th Anniversary Woodstock Reunion'

At the rock concert...

"All I did this summer was go fishing, camping, bike riding, swimming, boating, and go the movies, carnivals, fairs, concerts and games. I'm bored."

'Smashing party, Miss - can we have another one tomorrow?'

Taking a peek at the audience

"This next one is my own quirky rendition of Berlioz's 'Symphonie Fantastique,' Movement 5, 'Dream of a Witches' Sabbath.'"

Allegro con molto espresso

"Can you speak up: there's a bloody racket going on in the background."

Elvis Presley

'Man, times have changed.'

"I remember him before he was getting hte winter fuel allowance."

Piano and Pianist with broken legs.

"That's it, Tom. Here they come. Just keep playing 'Freebird.'"

'I'm sorry I missed your recital. Daddy was on the phone with his broker, checking on bond yields. It's another form of bonding, son.'

Piano Recital

This next song goes out to the girl who stole my heart and my guitar.

"I was going to play the Moonlight Sonata, but I forgot the key."
