Behind the scenes: sneaking into the choir loft at Thingvallakirkja
Just a quick behind-the-scenes video we shot when we snuck into the choir loft of Thingvallakirkja (Thingvellir church) right before the first official Magical Cello Adventure in Iceland concert!! Thank you to all the rangers of Thignvellir along with my friend Melissa Patterson for everything you did to make this a fun adventure!!
Unnur's Favorite - Rebecca Zook, cello, live from Los Angeles
In December 2018, I got to play my first concert in Los Angeles, and this clip in particular made me laugh with happiness!
It's an original song called Unnur's Favorite, that started coming through while I was in Iceland.
(It was inspired by the experience of playing next to the lake at Thingvellir, where the tectonic plates of Europe and North American meet and create a beautiful canyon full of elves.
And the first time I performed it, in Iceland, in a tiny, beautiful church next to Thingvellir called Thingvallakirkja, my friend Unnur really connected with it so I named the song after her. :)
I'd love to hear what you experienced while you were listening -- but no haters, please!
Sending you love, REBECCA and my magical cello
