Yo-Yo Ma never played it better than this. "Poem for Carlita" by Mark O'Connor

https://youtu.be/Fhb5jdZ0uTQ

The history making trio of Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer and Mark O'Connor perform O'Connor's composition 'Poem for Carlita" at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City. The three virtuoso string players performed this new American Classical music with such depth, passion and detail that the New York City audience erupted in an ovation after Yo-Yo Ma's final - nearly silent harmonic note. Notice the look of admiration on O'Connor's face as he looks at Ma at the conclusion of the piece, impressed by the cellist's interpretive skills of his music. It is evident that this performance went to a new place for the trio and a new level for American Classical string playing.

Mark O'Connor's "Appalachia Waltz" (Feat. Yo-Yo Ma) Loved Composition For Strings

https://youtu.be/ajkgNEO_Yeg

On O'Connor's 'Appalachia Waltz'
"What Bach did was, he took all these dances from all the known world around him and put them in suite form. Old dances, new dances, courtly dances, peasant dances. And what Mark did was, he took this piece that is somewhat based on the Norwegian fiddling style, with the drone and that, wrote it in Santa Fe, and called it `Appalachia Waltz.' It's just so moving. It's traditional. It is new. It comes from many different places, but it's authentic. So after a long Bach evening, rather than play more Bach, this is the perfect thing." -Yo-Yo Ma



"Vistas" acclaimed 3-part 'Canon' by Mark O'Connor feat Yo-Yo Ma
https://youtu.be/fe8qdb-yGYs

"Vistas" critically acclaimed 3-part canonic composition by Mark O'Connor featuring Yo-Yo Ma and Edgar Meyer

"Based on the two most extended pieces the trio played Monday, "Vistas" and "Poem for Carlita," it seems that O'Connor's composing has broken through to a new, and deeper, level.

Tribute to Paul Walker - Gone Too Soon




























My Dear DN Family of Friends, Thinking of all of you and
wishing you a wonderful beginning to a new week and
have a splendid Monday with loved ones.

Today after dinner, one of my students Khaled from
Saudi Arabia suggested that we watch together
Fast & Furious 7. He had uploaded it on his I Phone
and we were able to watch it on my TV, amazing.

I have two new students that have joined us Pablo
from Germany and Shogo from Japan arrivals to
the old home-stay this weekend. The 3 are
getting along great and we all enjoyed the movie
so much. At the end of the film there was not
a dry eye in the living room thinking of the
loss of Paul Walker , gone too soon.

God bless DN family of friends and thanking you with
baskets of hugs and wishes come true for thinking of
me and the kitties. Always Carmen , Picasso & Pasha.

PS New students love the kitties right always, so cute to see

My tribute to Esa Pekka Solonen who during his tenure with
The Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra (1992-2009) , to my good fortune I attended many performances held at the
Dorthy Chandlier Pavilon and Disney Hall.

I now thank Maestro Solonen for his influence in my falling in
love with the Romantic and Modern Era of Classical Music.
I opened my mind and listened with my ears and allowed
the music to reach my heart and soul.

Kudos To Esa Pekka Solonen on the European premiere of his Piano Concerto with Yefim Bronfman (piano) at Avery Hall
on July 30, 2007 .

I have listened over and over to this concert with such joy
and now at 71 years almost 72 come September , I now
realize how far I have come over the last 20 some years.
I am grateful to have opened my mind and listened with
my ears.

I so hope you will enjoy ! Sent to all my dn family with
loving to share with you that which I love & hold close.

Always Carmen and the kitties Picasso & Pasha ..
