Had to lock myself up in the organ balcony for security reasons

in classical-music •  5 years ago  (edited)

I just went to Vilnius University Aula Parva hall to play for the Graduation ceremony of Business School Entrepreneurship program.

Before the event they asked me to play the Gaudeamus Igitur anthem in the key of Ab major and do a run-through with the soloist. She really doesn't have a strong voice but wore a beautiful dress instead, haha! She had a mic so downstairs it sounded fine.

For the prelude I played organ arrangement of Pomp and Circumstance by Edward Elgar transposed to the key of Db major which worked better with the consequent Gaudeamus.

By the way, I was introduced to the special grim-looking security guard who told me to lock myself up in the organ balcony and don't forget to lock the doors after the event as well.

What's this all about?

Apparently they had Israeli Ambassador as a guest speaker.

When I was in Stuttgart the other day, there must have been some VIP staying at the hotel as the police were on guard 24/7. Unless they were there to make sure I didn't steal anything...

Did you succeed in stealing anything?

I "stole" some vanity packs for my wife. They had 3 cotton buds and two makeup removers in them :D Handy for her purse.

@laputis and I sometimes take a small bottle of shampoo or a bar of soap...

The Ambassador must be a Steem Whale and needed extra security.

Yes, they guarded his private keys, haha!

Terrorism can occur anywhere.

High profile people have to be well-protected.
