A spectacularly located white village between Sevilla and Ronda. Situs of the famous restaurant Meson El Tabanco, gastronomic haven of irresistible local gustatory delights for gourmets and gourmands. Wild rabbits and goats will also enjoy our playing.
Home of first-class folks and the Missouri fox-trotting horse. Maybe we'll be able to score a date at nearby McClurg: atmospheric and exactly what this project is all about.
The empty stage of the famous opera house — empty but for a handful of people in the highest tier — would be a good first gig, and then some Mozart in the jungle to the sound of amazing animals.
For its remoteness. The folks (apparently no official population count) might like some live classical music and we're certainly interested in how things are down there. A part of the world I've found fascinating since early reading of Tierra del Fuego storms and shipwrecks.
Temoto looks a nice place to put a piano. Arthur Grimble turned me on to this part of the world with his fascinating A Pattern of Islands and Return To The Islands. (We Chose the Islands is vastly entertaining too; I have come across it only recently). Very interesting Polynesian marine navigation. What fun to be on the open ocean playing Mozart in a dugout and no modern navigation aids. And to walk in the steps of Empire-builder Grimble.
Doubly remote. We like mountains and cold weather. We can introduce the good folks to Mozart if they don't already know it. Native musicians on native instruments a bonus.
We'll find a quiet spot somewhere. Lots of talented local classical musicians.
Of the numerous books on numerous aspects of Egypt, Edward Cecil's Leisure of an Egyptian Official is one of my favourites for its vivid witty evocations. We shall see what has changed and what hasn't.
Imagine hauling a piano up there. Can it be done? Quicker to just wreck it on the ground and get it over with.
