Well I didn’t think that I’d be back so quickly, but I’ll be taking tonight’s Brisbane City Pops Orchestra rehearsal tonight as well. Lots of score prep to be done. Nothing like a bit of adrenaline to keep it real.…and coffee.
I’m currently in quarantine since a couple of days ago, when I came down with Covid. However, todays news that Corrina Bonshek’s, “Song to the Earth”, that myself and the Ady Ensemble recorded, and which was released just over a year ago, has been nominated for an award at this year’s Queensland Music Awards. This […]
The mastering still continues. Hopefully we should have the recordings from last month’s session of Brahms’ 2nd Symphony completed soon. Thanks again to all of the members of the Ady Ensemble, who played so well on the day www.adrianhead.com #conductor #conducting #orchestra #symphony #Brahms #brahms2ndsymphony #adrianhead #adyensemble
Booster done and dusted. Here’s hoping that it’s a smooth ride with this one, too. #conductor #conducting #covid_19 #booster #pfizer
Well it’s been an amazing day. The Ady Ensemble members (Adyophiles) gave their all today for the final day of our Brahms Recording Project, which we’ve been rehearsing over this last week for today’s recording session. The day went without a hitch, and I was both humbled by the dedication and enthusiasm of the players […]
It’s 6am on a Sunday and I’m on my way. It’s only taken ten months of organising and re-scheduling to get us to this day. I’m going to be a happy wreck by the end of it ❤️
It’s been a special but busy week, full of events & anniversaries. After our initial tutti rehearsal on Sunday for the Ady Ensemble’s Brahms Recording Project, we’ve continued this week with some sectional rehearsals, which will be followed by our recording session over next weekend. Wednesday also involved a sad memory for myself & the […]
Thanks to all of the Adyophiles who attended our first rehearsal of the Ady Ensemble’s Brahms Recording Project. After having to delay our first instance of this project back in June, it was with some relief and joy that we were able to recommence this project now, six months later. Let’s hope this time that […]
So today was the third and final concert conducting the Brisbane City Pops Orchestra. It was also an important date for me personally today, as it was fifteen years ago today that my father-in-law passed away. A lifelong fan of the Aston Villa F.C., I paid tribute to him with pocket kerchiefs, the maroon and […]
Another great audience turnout for the Brisbane City Pops Orchestra last Saturday in Kenmore, for our second concert together. With Monday night being our last rehearsal for this concert series, the orchestra also had a bit of a Christmas bash, and gave me a kind token of their appreciation. We’ll have our final concert together […]
