To StadsMission for cold luch before the 1200 concert. This was an opera school exercise in performance directed by Mark Tatlow ( late of Drottningholm Opera) Illness robbed us of an actor and reduced the power of the soprano but very interesting performance concentrating on gesture as adding to the drama - right up Kristin's street and she asked a question and was subsequently asked if she was in the business.
1400 Talk on a Belgian project to digitise Almira Flemish song manuscripts housed in Vatican, talk of techniques ( 800 Mpixel camera) brueaucrcy of course and wish to make info available on net by autumn.
Parallel German group reckons it has 20 years work ahead of it. Again up Kristin'sstreet but also mine.
2030 Concert Collegium Marianum. Bohemian Baroque - principally Biber. Some table music - light but pleasant but some new and enchanting music.
Wine afterwards interupted by large group of musicians and Czech ambassador eating after concert. We had to retreat into corner to give them room. Were recognised and asked our opinion on the concert. All very agreable. Again the 2340 boat home.
