Four years ago, I started the concertblog to document what it’s like to give concerts, plan, record, review, and travel.
It’s been a long and very interesting journey, cumulating in 96,000 visitors. In time to come, I’ll round it up to 100,000.
While our intentions were pure, we certainly had no idea of the outcome. Where would we be 5 years from now? 10 years?
One thing for sure, we didn’t expect to end up on opposite ends of the earth: one in full-time education & working part-time, the other working overtime. And being apart, it’s impossible to give concerts as a duo.
Thanks to skype and Facetime, it’s still possible to review our different lives and pursuits.
The endorphin-kicking rush of giving a concert is still there. A live performance still beats a recorded one.
As I type this blog on my iPad in a hotel in Honolulu, I am thinking about our last trip to Taiwan — we managed to perform a few extracts of our duo programme at a Rotary Club in Taiwan. We sightread music with a string quartet in Taipei.
Tomorrow I fly to Taipei to experience a taste explosion. That will be my celebration of this four year journey of experimenting and experiencing all that’s possible as traveling musicians. It’s also a time to reflect —- where next?
