violinist & educator

WAITIKI performed tonight at a very special event held only once a year at NEC – the Alumni Showcase! Brown Hall was decorated as a cabaret club featuring a program of a variety of players and music that ranged from classic Mozart to sizzling-hot Latin rhythms. Besides being surrounded by NEC alums (some were graduates in the 50′s and 60′s!), it was an honor to be playing along with fellow colleagues, namely Zaccai Curtis and his Latin Jazz group Rhythmic Prophecies. It was such a great turnout and we all got many compliments and positive feedback. We will be playing again with RP tomorrow night at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge. Please see WAITIKI.com for more information.

For my own reference, this was also the first time I used a wireless microphone such as this one. Seems pretty good! I’ll put up some sound clips later on and do some research and comparison. I definitely like the idea of having a microphone rather than a pick-up for what I do with WAITIKI.
