MARK HARVEY: Good
evening everybody.

9
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:23,500
My name's Mark Harvey.

10
00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:25,780
And I'd like to welcome
you to this concert.

11
00:00:25,780 --> 00:00:28,690
And this is the first of a
whole series of concerts.

12
00:00:28,690 --> 00:00:30,380
I hope you have
the program there,

13
00:00:30,380 --> 00:00:32,280
The Art of the
Improvisor series.

14
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,750
We have many fine
groups coming up,

15
00:00:34,750 --> 00:00:38,525
including one led by Phil
Scarff in about 2 1/2 weeks,

16
00:00:38,525 --> 00:00:41,560
over at the wall auditorium
up that way a little bit,

17
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,810
and then two more
wonderful groups.

18
00:00:44,810 --> 00:00:48,810
This is a concert series in
conjunction with a class that's

19
00:00:48,810 --> 00:00:52,550
going on this semester
called musical improvisation.

20
00:00:52,550 --> 00:00:54,870
So we thought that it would
be an interesting idea

21
00:00:54,870 --> 00:00:57,020
to have a concert
series and also

22
00:00:57,020 --> 00:01:00,420
invite the people from
the artistic groups

23
00:01:00,420 --> 00:01:03,210
to come into the
class and present

24
00:01:03,210 --> 00:01:05,249
their particular approach
with the students.

25
00:01:05,249 --> 00:01:06,790
And I see a lot of
the students here,

26
00:01:06,790 --> 00:01:07,956
so thank you for coming out.

27
00:01:07,956 --> 00:01:10,297
This is great.

28
00:01:10,297 --> 00:01:11,880
And all you other
folks, we appreciate

29
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,280
you coming out on a cold night.

30
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,090
It always seems to be a
cold night when we do this,

31
00:01:16,090 --> 00:01:17,790
but we're very happy to do it.

32
00:01:17,790 --> 00:01:22,280
This is called FiLmprov, which
means film and improvisation.

33
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,610
And we're going to
start with improvisation

34
00:01:24,610 --> 00:01:28,260
with our musical group,
for a musical set.

35
00:01:28,260 --> 00:01:30,580
We'll just have a brief
pause, and then we're

36
00:01:30,580 --> 00:01:35,350
going to have the films of Kate
Manson with us, now transformed

37
00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:36,500
into a pit orchestra.

38
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:38,600
So you'll see us in
two different guises.

39
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,180
So we hope it's not too much
of a shock to see that change.

40
00:01:42,180 --> 00:01:43,760
So here we go.

41
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,830
We're going to play something.

42
00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:47,580
