Paderewski: A History Lesson

Posted by Bradford on March 3, 2010

Attention Class!!!

Let me start things off by giving mad love to our fantastic cast; our fearless leader, Mere, and my co-blogger, super duper Mike Tutaij. And now, if you would please open your books to chapter one.

Paderewski

As we all know, Paderewski was an incredibly talented pianist, composer, and politician, and though he was the third Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland, he probably never went to a slumber party, where two of his best friends poured mustard all over his face while he was sleeping. In 1881, he moved to Berlin to study music composition, but while he was there, he probably didn’t get a part time job in the “Baby Factory”. And of course when his world renowned opera, “Manru” was performed at the Metropolitan Opera in 1902, a dancing pig probably didn’t knock on his dressing room door and ask him for a birthday pie. No, none of these amazing things ever happened to Ignacy Jan Paderewski… but they do happen in the Paderewski school show baby. All that fun after only one day of rehearsal, I can only imagine the great tales that are yet to come. So come on out to the show yall, it will make Ignacy oh so proud.

Class is dismissed.
