Jimi,

Fabulous. Put the Brandenburg last to take full advantage of your "relaxed" audience.

Seriously, I love listen to good music with a drink in my hand and, hopefully, your group will find a niche.

Robin,

I made a 40ish minute suite of Telemann pieces once that included most of the Concerto for trumpet, the Concerto for trumpet, 2 oboes & strings, the (even better) Concerto for trumpet, 2 oboes & continuo (violins playing the oboe parts), the Concerto for 3 trumpets, timp, 2 oboes & strings, and the Suite in D. It wasn't that big of a deal to play -- you get into the flow after a bit (but the odd movements without trumpet were a welcomed respite from D Major!)

Does anyone remember the old New Yorker cartoon of three concert banners hanging outside Lincoln Center proclaiming "MOSTLY MOZART", "BASICALLY BACH" and "ALL THE TELEMANN YOU CAN STAND"?

Bartender, a round of applause for Jimi,
EC
