Ircam final concert in Paris

Some pictures from the final concert of the “Cursus I” students of Ircam, the French center of music research.

Violaine Debever playing the piece of Francisco Alvarado.

Eun Joo Lee playing the piece of Violeta Cruz.

Thien-Bao Pham Vu playing Andrea Mancianti´s piece “Epäjärjestelmällisyydestäköhän?” at the last rehearsal before the concert.

Adriana Morais-Ferreira playing the piece of Seongmi Kim.

And another one with Morais-Ferreira playing the piece of Seongmi Kim.

Antonio Garcia Jorge playing the piece of Fredy Vallejos.

Or to be more precise, the pictures are of the final rehearsal of the concert, since in the concert it was forbidden to do any shutter-clicking that could be heard in the recordings. Understandably.

Unfortunately, I only have pictures of half of the pieces. I arrived to Paris the evening before, and was smart enough to forget my battery charger in Finland. So the next morning I was in Ircam with two almost empty batteries for my camera and no time to look for a charger. Well, in the end I got the pictures I was looking for, and I guess I also learned something: if you have spare batteries, keep them charged!
