Bucket list items?
Posted: Fri Feb 02, 2024 1:26 am
I am looking forward to playing Schumann's Rhenish symphony on alto mid February.
This has been sort of a final boss and at the same time bucket list item for me for many years.
As a former professional mostly bass trombonist this has made me sweat just thinking of it in some points of my life
However today I would say it's a challenge but I am sleeping alright thinking of it. I have been preparing well and feel quite comfortable, even if there is of course always some risk involved.
Some open bucket list items for me:
- Playing a recital with just solo works for bass, tenor and alto
- Playing more frequently on lead and/or bass with a good bigband
- Being able to do at least some improvisation in e.g. a bigband setting
- Bolero
- Playing solo with a (amateur) symphony orchestra
- Doing some home recordings that are on a sufficient quality level that I feel happy sharing them publicly
What are your bucket list items? What would you love to play at some point? Is there anything you can do to get there?
