Grassroots Videos

 

The 19th year of the GrassRoots Chamber Orchestra performs Jeb's "Mystic Water" arranged by Judy Hyman.  Later that day we had quite the gathering at the compound with a lively conversation that included Cayenna Ponchione, the orchestra conductor who now lives in England and returns for this one performance, John Gurche who was doing some of the mural for the General Store, and someone who was visiting Tompkins County where he grew up before moving to Himalayas to run an ashram.  We mostly talked about the weather.


A few seconds of percussion by Dakhabrahka.  I wasn't able to convince our Ukrainian student who is a skilled percussionist come to the show (and sit in with the band).
