i haven’t written yet about my show with the cbc radio orchestra on sunday, perhaps because i am still reeling. i sang buffy st marie songs with beautiful arrangements by giorgio magnanensi. it was a stunning experience for me. to play with so many people with such singular intent, as arranged by giorgio and conducted by alain trudel, and of course written by buffy. it was a rare chance for me to perform more simply. to act more like a vessel or a conduit. i loved it. the show will be aired on cbc2 on may 2 and will also be streamed online. i’ll get the details and post them for you.
in the meantime, rehearsals for the album recording are fully underway. we begin on monday!
