Σήμερα στο tvxs.gr:
Η μουσική όπλο ενάντια στην ανθρωπιστική κρίση.

Εγώ πάντως έχω τώρα μια ωραία κάρτα από τη Σιέρα Λεόνε, με ιδιόχειρους χαιρετισμούς, και γραμματόσημα που απεικονίζουν τον Picathartes gymnocephalus, τον οποίο ωστόσο η ΕΕ, μεταφράζοντας από το αγγλικό White-necked Rockfowl, τον έχει κάνει λευκοτράχηλο πικαθάρτη. (Μα, ξέρετε πόσα γλωσσικά θέματα βγάζουν τα γραμματόσημα;)

Είχες κι αυτό μαζί, όμως:

Πώς, βεβαίως! Δύο πικαθάρτες και έναν πλουβιανό είχα κι εγώ. :)

To ποσό των 3.000 λιρών συγκεντρώθηκε -- ευτυχώς, επειδή στο Kickstarter, αν οι προσφορές δεν καλύψουν το ποσό που ζητάς, δεν παίρνεις τίποτα.

Ευχαριστώ θερμά όσους συνφορουμίτες συνέβαλαν με τον οβολό τους. Να κι ένα βιντεάκι με τις ευχαριστίες του Πάνου και του συνοδοιπόρου του σ' αυτό το πρότζεκτ, φλαουτίστα Ζαχαρία Ταρπάγκου.

 

[Elsa]

Πολύ χαίρομαι, μπράβο στα παιδιά και καλή δύναμη!
(Δεν ξέρω αν έχουμε βάλει εδώ σχετική πρόσφατη δημοσίευση στο tvxs.)

Inspired by the dedication, enthusiasm and high musical standard of the students, Keys of Change has invited them to perform at the Southbank Centre.

The Orpheus Sinfonia, orchestra of the Orpheus Foundation, is, under the artistic direction of Thomas Carroll, establishing itself as one of the most vibrant, dynamic and inspiring of young orchestras.The Orpheus Sinfonia was founded in 2008 as an orchestra to provide opportunity and support for those exceptionally talented young musicians emerging from study into the profession.The orchestra attracts the very best of music conservatoire graduates, forming an elite group of performers excelling in artistic distinction.We are delighted to be working in collaboration with the Fukushima Youth Sinfonietta, supporting them as they come to the UK to perform and, through the incredible power of music, to find their voices and a way to move forward following the devastation of the tsunami in Japan.
