Why?

Our audience members love to hear us play, even if we don’t have concerts. You can contribute to audience retention by participating.

How?

To participate you need:

A device (phone or computer) to play prepared audio and/or video template
Earphones (wireless better, wires might be “in the way” of your playing)
A second device (phone or computer) to record video of you playing while listening via 1 and 2

Here is what you do:

Download your part here. It might require some practicing!
Download video of Maestro Klein conducting here. Download it onto device #1 above.
Using devices #1 and #2 (earphones), watch Mitch conduct and listen. You will see him conducting, hear him counting and hear violin/viola. (Note: we need many more violins and violas playing!)
While watching/listening as described, use device #3 to video/audio record yourself playing first 32 bars (with repeats).
Record yourself as many times as you like and send Danny Cher (djcher@gmail.com) your best one. Use whatever file-sharing technology you like (DropBox, Google Drive, etc.). Send-Anywhere is convenient as you can send directly from your mobile phone.
Danny will burn the midnight oil to assemble a video.

Keep in mind that this piece is all about rubato, so watch/listen. It might take a few tries to get the feel of it.
