Community Challenge Concert! (Preparing for a concert!)
This is the culminating concert of our community challenge "Preparing for a Concert - a checklist!" Share your progress, and perform for each other! If you have participated in a Community Concert in the past, it is exactly the same! We will join a zoom meeting together and enter our private virtual space! Looking forward!

We are going to be using this thread to gather suggestions and questions!
- What questions do you have on this topic?
- Any particular area you would like me to focus on?

My wife Kay Hanna would like to play 3 more short pieces by Ola Gjeilo, specific titles yet to be decided, but total time estimated to be around 5 minutes. She will again be playing via my zoom channel, with me handling the audio. The mic will be set inside the piano when she plays, and the input volume set low to handle that much sound. This makes it hard for her to be heard when she wants to speak, but we'll try just moving the microphone closer to her briefly (without touching the input volume), then putting it back inside the piano when she's ready to go.

I love the idea of this community challenge, but I had too many pre-Christmas tasks to finish in my job, so I didn't want to commit to something that I might not complete effectively. Also, I knew that I was having surgery on 5 Jan yesterday so a live performance on 7 Jan was out of the question.
The surgery went well - day surgery - so I was driven home about an our after the procedure. I'm feeling well enough - could be the drugs - to go to a Paul Lewis concert tonight, which is the first of a cycle of all of the Schubert piano sonatas!
Post-surgery thought: it's now 18 months since I returned to the piano and joined TB so sending in a recording is on the horizon, but playing live in a Zoom call - a while longer yet, I think.
