Chaminade Concertino - From The Top (Soundcheck)

Emma Resmini (just turned 9) plays the Chaminade Concertino with concert artist Christopher O'Riley, the host of NPR's From The Top. This is the soundcheck for the May 3, 2009 taping. The show will be broadcast on September 13, 2009 on National Public Radio. The taping was done at WGBH's beautiful Fraser Performance Studio in Boston, MA. (The sound will be much better on the radio than from my bargain basement camcorder.)

When you were on from the top did they actually give you a centipede in a jar?

[GeoRockMin]

@WorldofGino Yah, it was pretty funny!!! They usually try to do goofy fun things on the show. But the centipede was really tiny - where I live they're big and hairy. But From the Top is really super fun!!! --Emma

I was 9 when I started the flute. I've never got to your standard but I think has I watched you then it would have made me practice more. Keep it up I love watching you play. Julie

@buttons094 Hi Julie, Thanks!!! I'm always happy if my playing makes someone want to play the flute!!!

Brava!! Emma, you are absolutely amazing. I watched your other fantastic Chaminade video (when you were 7) and I kept thinking your only limitation was your size, lung capacity specifically. I'm asthmatic and struggle with breathing & long passages so I was immediately drawn to your breathing in that video. Anyway, here you are in this video, 2 years older (and taller) and your performance is even more incredible. I hope to attend a concert or purchase a cd someday... :) Thank you!!

@GeoRockMin Cool! The centipedes round here are pretty tiny too.

You can listen to Emma's full performance of this piece on the From The Top website (show 196). It's well worth watching!
