Larry's Miniature Orchestra @ Barrington Stage May 7, 2011
The Miniature Orchestra got together at Barrington Stage Company's Main Stage in Pittsfield, MA in May. We played without any mikes, amps, or electric instruments - pure organic music.
I introduced several new compositions, and re-arranged some older material, adding new sections. The band included:
Larry Chernicoff - composer, vibraphone, piano
Charles Pillow - woodwinds
Tim Moran - woodwinds
Tomas Ulrich - cello
John Lindberg - bass
Lydia Chernicoff - violin
Rogerio Boccato - percussion
It was great to have my daughter Lydia join the band again on violin, and it was a pleasure to work with Brazilian master percussionist Rogerio Boccato for the first time.
Larry plays on a couple of recently-released CD's. Stepping outside his usual musical environment, he adds vibraphone to a beautiful song on Adam Michael Rothberg's newest release, All the Whispering, and on several tracks from an adventurous indie release by Cassis and the Sympathies.
