Dress Code
A friend of mine recently posted this video on my Facebook page, saying that I was in it. This is a video from a Conservatoire of Kenya orchestra concert about a year ago and this piece was put together after the orchestra's tour to the coast. Overeager string players started jamming together in the evenings during the tour when someone passed out copies of Bach's famous Concerto for Two Violins in D minor. It eventually escalated to the point where it was good enough to go in the annual student's concert in August. I am not one of the soloists in this video, but I was leading the orchestra for this concert and was ashamed to be the only member of the orchestra that seemed to not follow the dress code. We were told to wear white and black in any combination, so I wore white on bottom and black on top. Nobody else did.

Bach Solo Sonata in G minor, I. Adagio
I finally uploaded my re-recording of the Bach Solo Sonata in G minor, first movement (Adagio). This was recorded using a Zoom Q3 which I would highly recommend! Hopefully I will be able to use this to help with auditions for a Master's degree.
Enjoy and please leave comments, suggestions, helpful tips, etc.!
