      Duo
      Big
      Hit
     
    
   
   
    
     
      It
      was
      a
      Saturday
      night
      and
      we
      had
      nothing
      to
      do.
     
     
      Someone
      mentioned
      that
      there
      was
      a
      concert
      down
     
     
      town
      at
      the
      Great
      George
      Gallery
      so
      we
      decided
      to
     
     
      take
      it
      in.
      Unsure
      of
      what
      we
      were
      about
      to
      hear,
     
     
      we
      waited,
      hoping
      it
      wasn’t
      going
      to
      be
      a
      waste
      of
      ©
     
     
      time.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Wil
      Offermans,
      flutist,
      came
      on
      stage
      and
      dazzled
     
     
      everyone
      with
      a
      truly
      amazing
      display
      of
      virtuosity
     
     
      that
      for
      many
      of
      us
      had
      not
      been
      heard
      before.
     
     
      Offermans
      played
      bass
      flute
      as
      well
      as
      the
      standard
     
     
      C
      flute,
      performing
      his
      own
      avant-garde
     
     
      compositions.
      His
      mastery
      of
      extended
      flute
     
     
      techniques
      such
      as
      multiphonics,
      whisper
      tones,
     
     
      circular
      breathing
      and
      simultaneous
      use
      of
      the
      voice
     
     
      captivated
      us
      and
      left
      us
      breathless.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Joining
      him
      was
      a
      Japanese
      Satsuma-Biwa
      player,
     
    

    
     
      also
      now
      living
      in
      Holland.
      The
      Biwa
      is
      a
      traditional
     
    

    
     
      five-stringed
      Japanese
      instrument
      resembling
      the
      lute.
      -
     
     
      Combining
      the
      Biwa
      with
      her
      voice,
      Junko
      Ueda
     
    

    
     
      performed
      using
      contemporary
      playing
      techniques
      to
     
    

    
     
      tell
      a
      traditional
      Satsuma
      story.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      duo
      then
      improvised
      and
      Offermans
      used
      an
     
     
      electronic
      system
      to
      sample
      his
      sounds
      and
      then
      play
     
     
      them
      back
      using
      digital
      time
      delays.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      We
      left
      the
      concert;
      the
      night
      was
      but
      a
      pup,
      yet
      we
     
     
      could
      not
      think
      of
      anything
      to
      do
      that
      would
      top
      this
     
     
      amazing
      performance.
      Those
      of
      you
      unable
      to
      attend
     
     
      missed
      one
      of
      the
      year’s
      best
      concerts.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Friday
      morning
      classes
      saw
      a
      record
      number
      of
     
     
      students
      the
      day
      after
      the
      Music
      Society
      Pub.
      It
      is
     
     
      as
      yet
      uncertain
      why
      so
      many
      people
      showed
      up
      for
