Raffles The Plaza
STRIIIINGS was hired as an emcee cum solo piano group this evening, but after the fun I had performing in a cello/piano duet, we decided to give the couple a set of cello/piano duet for free. I've always wanted to play Kanon's main melody on the cello (Nobody understands the anguish of a cellist having to play the same 8 notes for the whole length of the piece!!!), so when the groom made the special request, I jumped at it :)
Again, our clients, this time the groom, had secretly prepared a special surprise for his wife way in advance, in March. And though he had the jitters, I managed to convince him that his rendition of Fly Me To The Moon accompanied by me on the piano would be loved by everybody. And it was. It was so worth the effort of hunting down the piece of music, and then recording it down as an mp3 for him to practise to, when it was finally delivered tonight.
Most fantastic! And the couple allowed us to take pictures with them, and to put it up on our blog, so keep a lookout for the picture(s)!
