Black Tie fun!

Last night, Prism got to perform at NNU's Black Tie event at the Rose Room in downtown Boise.  It was a beautiful, noisy, crowded, fun event.  The Rose Room was packed from front to back with stylishly decorated tables and place settings, flowers and lit candles, and bottles upon bottles of Martinelli's sparkling cider.  Over about an hour and a half, almost 400 stylishly coiffed coeds enjoyed a catered meal and chatted while we provided the music.  Then, they were picked up by limousines out front and delivered to The Powerhouse, where they continued their evening with dancing.

NNU asked us to provide a mixture of upbeat music with classical influences.  Here are some selections (and new recorded clips!) of the pieces we performed last night: 

Somewhere (in D)
After the Battle of Aughrim
Amazing Grace
Concerto in A minor for Two Violins (arranged for quartet, of course)
Besame Mucho
Love Me Tender
The Irish Washerwoman - Swallowtail Jig
Londonderry Air
Suite from The Fairy Queen (movements 1, 2, 3, and 4)
Christmas Concerto (movements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6)
Trumpet Tune and Trumpet Voluntary
Passacaile
Habanera
Tango 1


The Tango earned us some rousing cheers.  When you are considering music for your event, keep in mind that tangos are always a great hit! :)

Sorry for the hiatus

Well, it's been a while since our last post.  We've weathered another winter, played some more weddings and Christmas gigs, and now we're preparing to play for an NNU black tie event at the Rose Room in downtown Boise.


We're happy to spice up the doldrums of February with a little music!  We also hope to record a few more song snippets to put on our repertoire page soon.  But for now, we leave you with a silly comic to brighten your day.
