New Stewart Chamber Music w/Jon Kimura Parker into 2016

[njperry]

It is now looking like I will be making the Indianapolis performance and not the Northern California show.

The May 23, 2015 performance in Toronto has disappeared from Jon Kimura Parker's website. He may have put it up before the offical announcement but it may not happen.

The violinist for the performances, Yoon Kwon, keeps a video blog with her husband and has some shots from the recent rehearsal in Austin, which was filmed. Note that the videos discuss all sorts of things in their life such as their dogs and the husband’s bike riding in addition to the performances with Stewart.

Some shots from the rehearsal from 7:02 to 7:45

She states that “we will be touring throughout the year.”

Stewart also has pictures of the Austin and Sacred Grove rehearsals on his Instagram account.

So happy. Also want another CD with Stewart's music. Don't want to get it on YouTube.

I will be going to the show in Indianpolis on March 29. I grew up in that area and will be able reunite with friends and family (but no reunion tours).

I had given thought to the show in Northern California, but too far to travel from where I live.

[njperry]

A new show (or at least unknown to me) has been added.

Saturday March 28 in Sewanee, Tennessee at the University of the South.

Sewanee is in eastern Tennessee, about an hour from Chattanooga (I just learned)

Wow, nice to see additions! I will begin to check Kimora site again occasionally. Was hoping to get to either Austin or Indy, but not looking as if will happen-and it would've been Indy afterall, if had worked out.
Maybe Stewart will think about gracing The Commonwealth of his birth, once again. A nice additional show in DC or Richmond or even Charlottesville area...........(hint)

[conroy]

I'll be going to Indianapolis as well as Austin. Won't be able to do Tennessee as I'll be flying home from Indy on the 28th.

Kinda wish I'd known about Sewanee sooner, that's an easy overnight trip for me. May do that too, but I'm definitely going to Austin.

Looks like I'm in for Indy for sure, and Sewanee...if there is any way to actually purchase tickets in advance for that show, that is! (I may call the University tomorrow since I cannot find any info on their website to do so). Would love to do Austin or California but not with the way airfares are right now But I can road trip it to Indy, so...

[sockii]

Update to add: I called Sewanee today and basically there is no buying tickets in advance unless you have a group of 10 or more people, then they will hold a block of tickets. Otherwise the auditorium is 1,000 seats and they assured me they've "never had a sell-out" performance. Tickets will go on sale 6pm the night of the performance.

If anyone is considering this and there *might* be enough people to reserve a blok, let me know?

I plan to be there.

Any reports from last night's show in Austin?

[conroy]

it was fantastic. Got to meet judd Miller after the show. he was thrilled that there were people at the show who knew who he was. all the artists were fantastic. The bass player Marlin Martinez is a protege of Stanley Clark and it showed. Yoon kwon's violin kicked up a terrific cloud of dust when she started playing the first song. It was right out of the Devil Went to Georgia. in addition to Prey, Celeste, and Darkness (which was effing awesome), Stewart snuck a preview of a future work before it's official world premiere. With judd on the EVI and marlin on bass it sounded like something from one of Stewart's scores. The stravinski derangement was also incredibly superb.

During the show, one of Stewart's flying drumsticks landed right at my feet.

Will work on taking care of my "cough" later.

[njperry]

Thanks for the report. So glad that Darkness was included.

Good luck dealing with that *cough* We are very concerned for you.
