Yesterday, I had a deposition up in Dallas. Afterwards, I was able to stay up in BigD for the evening and watch the Dallas Stars playoff game (Western Conference Finals) with my folks. GO STARS! (Stars post to come).
Today, I'm going to the final performance of the year for the the Houston Symphony--the Domingo Rodrigo guitar concerto. According to the Symphony:
The Concierto de Aranjuez was Joaquín Rodrigo's first attempt in the concerto genre; it quickly became, and has subsequently remained, the most popular and recognizable of his works. Written for solo guitar and orchestra, it reveals the composer's great affinity for those two mediums, as well as his reverence for the long-standing traditions of Spanish Classical music.
A creative innovator linked to the great romantic tradition of the past, guitarist Eliot Fisk is one of the most exciting and unique artists before the public today. Known world wide for his adventurous repertoire and willingness to take art music into unusual venues (including schools, senior centers and even prisons!) he belongs, as his great mentor Andrés Segovia once wrote, “at the top line of our artistic world.”
To top that off, tomorrow morning I leave for Las Vegas for my buddies' bachelor party. The trip has all the makings of an amazing weekend: gambling, booze, food, women, and guns. I have been informed that there will be no other discussion about the goings on in Vegas...so that's all I've got to say about that. ;) The best I can do is provide some fat Elvis love.
