Stewart Playing in Toronto!

[luddite lady]

Hello everyone! I finally dug myself out of my pile of books to come back to my long lost nutter home. Trying to manage my teaching career, my family and my grad studies has been quite the balancing act, and one of the things that had regrettably fallen off the tight rope has been time here at sc.net. I continue to follow Stewart on Twitter, but it's hardly the same as the community here.
For starters, Stewart didn't even tweet about his upcoming show with Off The Score at the Royal Conservatory's 21C Festival in Toronto, or that it will feature the world debut of a piece that the Conservatory commissioned him to write! I went all the way to Dallas to see the world premier of Gamelan D'Drum, but right now I came perilously close to missing out on this show -- a show which is being held not only in my home town but also on the campus of my university in a building that I pass four times a week! Urghhh!
Thankfully, my son (who is growing into quite a fine musician) brought home a flyer about the 21C Music Festival and with a rueful smile told me that I might want to check it out. I was afraid that he was about to talk me into giving him money for some concert that he wanted to see. Instead, within about a minute, I was asking him if he'd like to come with me to see Off The Score.
So, are there any other folks still around these parts who are thinking of taking in this concert? Maybe we could meet up. There is supposed to be a post-concert talk as well, which is always so much fun to take in with fellow nutters.
I see njperry continues to post all of Stewart's upcoming projects. Thanks so much for doing that! And I've learned my lesson. Even if I become swamped again, I will at least peak in here, even if only as a lurker and take a look at what's new.

ETA: I just looked back on Stewart's past tweets. Sorry, he did tweet about the 21C gig. But at the time I wasn't even on twitter much as I was too busy writing about the Book of Job and studying for a biblical Greek exam. The Off the Score concert really will be a welcomed break from work for me!

so you were in Dallas and we didn't meet? why's that?
there was a nice thread in the other forum here ...

or did you refer to the concert premiere in 2011 ?

[luddite lady]

I was at the premier in 2011. I haven't been able to do much travelling since then, so I'm very excited that Stewart is coming to my town with his cool little ensemble.

Yes, many many thanks for njperry's continued hard work keeping his list up to date so frequently. (It would be great, in fact, if he could be granted access to keep the front page of sc.net up to date with current events, wouldn't it? So that more people could easily find them instead of knowing which thread here to search out in the forum. Or if we could at least keep Nick's thread pinned to the top of the board...)

Yes, Luddite_lady is one of the original Dallas Five. She was at the premiere of Gamelan D'Drum.

Thanks for the kind words. I am glad it is appreciated.
