We're about half-way through the rehearsals. The painting is looking great. It'll be exciting to finish it soon. I won't have to wait much longer. On Saturday September 3rd, at 3pm at the First Reformed Church in Schenectady, I'll be completing the painting as part of a concert performance with the Musicians of Ma'alwyck. At the performance we'll also play video footage recorded during the creation of the painting. The above clip is a sample of that video. Tickets are available on the Musicians' website. Details are below.
The Matador's Prayer: A Celebration of Spanish Music and Culture
8 North Church Street
Schenectady, NY 12305
518/377-3623
Price: $25 adults; $10 students
An incredible afternoon of Spanish chamber music including works of de Falla (Ritual Fire Dance in the composer's own chamber transcription), Turina (L'Oracion del Torero), Rodrigo and Granados. In between works will be readings of poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca by the new music director of Albany Pro Musica, Jose-Daniel Flores Caraballo. A highlight of the concert will be the completion of a painting, during the performance, by artist Scott Nelson Foster, who was recently commissioned to create two portraits of the patroness of the St. Kateri Tekakwitha Parish. Scott is modeling his painting on the work of artist Joaquin Sorolla.
