We had a great time at the iTunes Live Festival in London last week! Here are some pictures that we would like to share with you.
Classic FM (Classical music radio in UK) interviewed us at Koko in London before the show (from left: Lucia, Angella and Maria):
We loved being part of the iTunes Live Festival!! We were the only classical group chosen to perform at the festival!
Maria, Angella and Lucia at Koko. Koko is a converted theater and a great fun venue with a vibe similar to Irving Plaza in NYC:
Juno (an electronic music artist from Berlin. We invited him to perform with us on a few tracks) and Lucia with the iTunes crew. They were super nice even when we were a bit panicky as we only had 45min. for soundcheck. Thanks, guys!
Angella, Lucia, Michael Nyman and Maria at the Barbican Hall:
Pat Metheny invited us to his performance with the Gary Burton Quartet, so we went with Michael Nyman. The concert was incredibly inspiring! Pat’s guitar playing is just phenomenal, and we felt very lucky that we happened to be in London and got to see him play. We are also grateful that Pat wrote a piece for us, which we will play the “world premier” of in Mexico next week.
Michael Nyman with Lucia and Angella. Incredibly enough, Michael actually sat in for Lucia during our performance at the iTunes Festival, and Angella and I played the music written by Michael. What an honor! We still can’t believe he played with us.
Juno, Angella and Lucia in the backstage area. We all were a little bit nervous (in contrary to how relaxed we look in the picture), since this was the live recording that would be made available on iTunes.
That’s all for now. We are leaving for Mexico soon to perform a few shows next week. Have a great week!
