Day 22: Brooklyn Boulders QueensBridge - Grand Opening Party
December 10, 2015
It is rare that I am able to perform in front of hundreds of 20s and 30 year olds. Let alone to be the surprise Grand Finale at a climbing gym’s grand opening party, complete with fluorescent lights, live painters, fire throwers, aerial yogis, and many more spectacular performances and events. Brooklyn Boulders is more than a gym, it’s a very special community. I was so thrilled to be able to share Bach with this vibrant and unique audience, as part of a fun celebration (complete with a secret speakeasy and silent -disco) for the opening of their new location in Long Island City.
The video we made, featuring an excerpt of the E major Partita: Preludio, was an outgrowth of a combined interest in rock climbing and its connections to classical music - its rhythm, its precision, and juxtaposing the physical beauty of the two art forms happening at once. It was also a lovely and fun opportunity for me to collaborate with dear friends, producer/visionary/writer Cyrena Lee, and filmmaker Charlotte Kaufman.
Performance: Sonata No. 3 in C Major
Largo
Allegro Assai
