Day 3

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

We’ve had a fantastic third day at Harmonic with a fantastic performance from Ben Markland’s Quintet which really got Symphony Hall buzzing early on. A very lucky CBSO Centre crowd were tested to a special gig from firstly Claudia Quintet and then an extended band featuring Percy Pursglove and Steve Tromans.

John Hollenbeck’s music was beuatiful played by the band and Percy and Steve really enhanced the sound and direction of the band. Thanks again to John and the rest of Claudia for being so open and willing to experiment. It certainly paid off tonight.

Tomorrow is the final day of Harmonic 2010 and I personally can’t wait. We’ve got a huge amount of music to fit in. There are still tickets available on the door so please come down and experience what promises to be an amazing day of music.

Thoughts on the first day

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Well, day one of Harmonic went off in fine style. The students nailed it and did a fantastic job of playing Dave Holland’s tunes. The ever efficient Peter Bacon has already posted a review of the gig too, you can find it here.

Dave Holland also treated us to a brief solo set and the end of the gig which was a real treat. We’re adding snapshots of our days to the Media page via our Flickr account.

For a very in-depth look at Dave’s visit to the Conservatoire (including mid-gig video footage from the musicians!) head over to http://hollandforaweek.com. Soweto Kinch trio and Lluis Mather quartet at The Yardbird tomorrow; can’t wait!
