The time had finally come for our ways to part. We said our goodbyes in Paris, as I headed back to Newcastle and J&J went on to Singapore, then Brisbane. They felt the heat, and I came back to rain, drizzle, greyness and cold. And uni. And lots of work.
The biggest commitment was the University Orchestra playing Mahler 8 with 3 choirs and 7 soloists at The Sage Gateshead. IT WAS HUGE. In every way. There were over 300 people on the stage, and the audience was full which was really exciting. Also, it was really hard, not only in the parts but also just co-ordinating that many people. The first section went really well, but there were a couple of 'moments' in the second section. But all in all it went pretty well. (Yes, there are only 2 sections and it was the whole concert; an hour and a half of constant playing. I was fairly tired afterwards!)
It was exciting to pull it off, and exciting to play in Hall 1 at The Sage. (This is special.)

Hey there lovely.. how sad that J&J have now left the northern hemisphere..... won't be long and you'll be back in the SUNSHINE and mild winter. Throw away all of those padded jackets and back to the light cardi :)
