One day more to our Concert for the Philippines!
As an organizer of this concert I have had many things to work out. On top of it, of course, I am performing in five ensembles so I have been practicing and rehearsing. It's such a pleasure to work with these musicians who are willing to play in a benefit concert (all musicians agreed to play pro bono).
Today, I visited St. Paul's Episcopal Church, our concert venue, to talk about setups, programs etc. The admin staff is so great to work with.
When I perform at St. Paul's every Christmas Eve, I'm on the balcony where the choir and organ are. For the first time I will get to play on the beautiful chancel. See the photos below, you know why I'm so excited.

Most of the organizing part is done (I just need bake for our bake sale). I didn't realize how much preparation a benefit concert involves but I truly enjoyed every minute of it.
All the ensembles have been rehearsing. I recorded our Moszkowski "Suite" rehearsal today and I'm very happy with our music making :-) I didn't even know of this German composer (sounds like a Polish last name but he's German) but thanks to Melanie Sasaki, whom I'm playing it with, I got to know such a beautiful piece.
It will be a great afternoon of chamber music. I hope many people will attend and share the time with us and together we will raise a lot of money for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan. Even if you can't attend, please consider sending your donation to Episcopal Relief and Development (memo: Philippines) at 200 Riverside Ave. Riverside, CT 06878.
