Christmas?? Christmas??

I cannot believe Christmas is in so few days. I don’t have the Christmas tree up yet, I haven’t started Christmas shopping, in fact I don’t even have ideas for presents. I have been so busy I haven’t noticed it sneak up. Well this week I shall make the most of it. Spend too much time at the mall getting sick of Christmas carols in the shops. Spend too much money so I wish Christmas never came and spend all my time being festive and merry. Then at least come 26th December, I shall be happy Christmas came and went, and happy it will be 364 days until it happens again.On the music front, in the last few days have sent a piece in to a workshop and an application in to write a new orchestral piece. So more information on these as it arises.Bye for now, Ryan

NSJO End of Year Concert

Well well well, on the weekend my orchestra (www.nsjo.org.nz) had their end of year concert. It was fantastic. They sounded absolutely wonderful. They are 7-15 year olds and are very clever kids … but of course you never know how a concert is going to go. But gosh, couldn’t have hoped it to go better. Here are some photos:
