How hilarious it was!
They call themselves the world's most stupid musicians, and the trio consists of:
1) Yarlsburg, the violinist, so naturally the leader of the trio. He has this wide-eyed "Oh I'm so horrified" look as he acts cocky and proud to his members.
2) Mr Abanathie, the violist, and the nice guy of the trio. He is also their handyman, who does all the dirty cleaning up work and is constantly pushed around by Yarlsberg.
3) Kadifachi, the cattish cellist who often snarls (and shows her teeth-jaws) at the men for not waiting for her to extend the spike of her cello before beginning to play.
And here's some of what they did:
1) Yarlsberg downing a huge can of coke before playing Satie's Gymnopedie, thus accompanying the piece with very rhythmic burps. (How disruptive, for those who know this atmospheric and calm
2) The trio playing something from Mozart's Requiem for Mr Abanathie's dead chick. Nobody expected what happened next...a 'chicken angel' (on suspensions and complete with a golden halo round its head) descended from the ceiling and carried the dead chick up with it. (we guessed it's magnetism at work)
3) Kadifachi playing the Swan from Carnival of the Animals accompanied by her (very suggestive) moans and sighs whenever the music swelled to expressive heights.
4) The trio playing an accelerating version of Mozart's Turkish March.
Well, all in all, a very entertaining performance.
A sweet marriage of classical music and slapstick!
I bought their DVD after the show,
and got them to autograph it!
Hmm, one more week to the new school term, I shall post my diary of my experience at the Creative Arts Camp here soon.
cheers
