At La Casa de la Cultura, I was able to perform for my very first time in Honduras! I'm proud to say that I've performed in Central America before. I played in a concert featuring cover songs of the Beatles in 2007.
Anyway, I had fun playing. I was a little shy during the days before the event. Sometimes I just don't want people to hear me! But, then again, that's why I play music. After all, if a tree falls down in a forest, and no one is there to hear it, then does it make a sound?
I got over it when I practiced playing for my music classes at school. Playing for students always makes music so fulfilling.
I was planning on playing the Honduran National Anthem which is called Tu bandera, Mozart Violin Sonata in B flat Major, and Bach's Partita 3 Gavotte and Rondeau. I managed to leave the Mozart at school and was asked to play an extra piece. I played Bach's Air on the G and La Cinquantaine by Gabriel-Marie in between introductions and during topic transitions.
I had so much fun playing! I loved every moment and was excited to see the crowd it drew. Teachers that I worked with came, some of my students came, and a variety of others went to the event. I didn't know many of them, but they seemed to enjoy the event. Some people said that they had never heard their own national anthem on the violin. I really liked having so many varying supporters.
The next day, I had two students turn in extra credit reports for this event. I enjoyed reading what they said because not only did they say how much they loved my playing, but they also said that the books made them be proud to be Olanchanos and basically that they want to remember what their roots are. I was pretty impressed with their connection with the book. They actually paid attention! One girl kept her program. I told them that I was going to keep their extra credit papers forever. And they received 50 points for writing it.
