Any of you who have come to our concerts know that we have a few favorite pieces in our repertoire — and we think you all do, too. One of those pieces is written by Robert Muczynski, and it’s called “Fragments.” It has a lot of variety in it, and each of the five movements is relatively short. That’s why they’re fragments. Anyway, last week, we had the opportunity to perform at a gallery opening at the beautiful Huntington Library in San Marino.
There's Karin at the Huntington Library, just before we play at the opening of the John Frame exhibit
We were so excited when we arrived to find that the name of the exhibit we were playing for was called “Three Fragments of a Lost Tale”! Something we all understand very well. The exhibit is by John Frame, and you can read more about it here. It’s quite fascinating the way that he interweaves several elements into his work — sculpture, photography, and then he puts everything together in a stop-motion animation film. So that’s just one of the amazing perks of our job here at Third Wheel — we get to check out great art exhibits and play great music! We always enjoy the crowd at the Huntington, too. They are so interested in what we’re doing and they love to ask questions about the pieces we’re playing, the composers, our instruments, etc. Too much fun.
