From our living room, every Tuesday Emily Rooke and myself are going live on my YouTube page, on Instagram (@EmilyRookeSop), and Facebook Live, performing some songs with our voice and clarinet duet.
We started a week or so after lock-down began and have now reached concert 8 of this little series. After our first live test, though the lack of a physical audience felt strange, the thrill and adrenaline of performing still felt great and has given us some familiarity and order to the weeks as they pass by during lock-down. You can find a playlist of all our past live concerts here; https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvlCTerTt4X6Nr55oT8hQlN8rjwildjU4. It's become a documentation of how long our hair is getting and how silly a screen grab YouTube can take of the faces we pull while singing or chatting!
Our time living in Italy started this duo, inspired performing on the beautiful streets of Florence and now we've gathered a long and varied rep list as I use some of our time in lock-down to write our arrangements. We're now taking requests of songs you'd like to hear so please let us know, we've mixed from classic Soprano Opera Arias, show-tunes, folk tunes and many more.
We have a donation link for if you are enjoying the series: www.paypal.me/EmilyRooke - many thanks for your support!
