MY URBAN PIANO Diary 9
RIVER OF LOVE is now online
In my last installment of these series I gave you an insight behind the scenes of the last video shoot for MY URBAN PIANO that took place in the beautiful city of Prague. There were many highlights, among others that I played the piano on a boat that was floating beneath Charles Bridge on the Vltava, my collaboration with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, the spectacular views from Letná Park and Prague Castle, Iveta Fabešová’s coffee and cake(s) at IF Café…
Last Monday, on 5th December 2017, I had the honor of premiering episode 4 of my audacious project at Martinů Hall for an illustre audience invited by the Embassy of Luxembourg in Prague. The video was enthusiastically received, and I am thankful that my Prague audience loved “River of Love”.
This piece contains love, the joy of living, gratitude for life — all feelings that were present both when I was writing the piece as well when we were recording the video in Prague. Our director David Draad (who also directed episode 3, JOY) did a fantastic job combining my music with his wonderful images from Prague.
I feel blessed that I have so many wonderful people around me who support me in so many ways. Especially my wife Martina and our three children who are so understanding, loving and caring. They deserve a lot of credit. Without their love I couldn’t do this. At least not so joyfully and energetically.
Over the course of next week I will publish Dan Schank’s Making Of video, which this time is divided in three parts. Watch my Facebook page and my YouTube channel and subscribe to my newsletter if you haven’t done so yet.
And on Friday, 15.12.2017, I will fly to Reykjavík with my team to shoot episode 5 of MY URBAN PIANO! More on that in the next blog post.
The single RIVER OF LOVE (containing the version with orchestra and the piano solo version) is available on every streaming and download platform like iTunes, Apple Music and Spotify.
