Amidst snowstorm forecasts last February, a friend of mine was driving off for the President’s Day Weekend amateur string-quartet-playing fest, which is an annual reunion of devotees of the summer Chamber Music Conference at Bennington College.
The only concern my friend expressed about snow conditions was whether the people responsible for bringing all the string-quartet parts would be able to get there.
I thought, fine if they don’t! How wonderful it would be to improvise all weekend, night and day!
Today’s link is an excerpt of a nonstop 3-hour improvisation with mime, based on the poem A Dream Within a Dream by Edgar Allan Poe. This is an audio link; sorry, no video!
