• such an exciting week it has been!

  preparing first movement of tchaikovsky 1st piano concerto for competition in october (audition’s in august, i’m almost halfway through..) it’s huge, 56 pages for the first movement.. 23 minutes long

  and building a chamber orchestra for a concert at the end of the year, a little hard to find bassoon, horn and timpani players but on the way there. we’ll be doing mozart piano concerto no.21 in C, not sure who’s the soloist yet but i do have someone in mind. the second half of the concert still undecided.. hopefully we can look beyond this concert, and have it semi-permanent

  and had the priviledge of being introduced to richard divall, one of australia’s most respected conductors (he founded opera australia) and he’ll be teaching me over the next semester when he’s at residence here in college

  and am preparing beethoven’s appasionata (as a start) for the year end recital

  and signed up to audit a conductor’s training course with the melbourne symphony orchestra in august, won’t get to participate cause the deadline’s passed, but i’ll get to observe a professional orchestra under the baton of other humble students

  been so excited and stressed at the same time my body isn’t responding as well as it should.. preparing bible study for ocf camp this weekend. some part of me regrets signing up, but i guess good to remind myself who i’m really serving. so much to do.. been so lethargic lately, muscle’s been so sore (went for a remedial massage at the sports center.. so amazingly helpful) but it’s a terrible feeling to be nauseous almost all the time. we’ll be bringing lots of guitars there to jam and do some recordings, will be good time to bond with friends

  very grateful that god’s lit the way for me so clearly, and have his plans for me unfold at this time. can’t wait to see what’s next
