Igudesman & Joo played on the April 1st on www.classical963fm.com The Toronto shows are sold out. Aleksey, Hyung-ki and their great team were taken out to a most wonderful meal upon arrival by Svetlana Dvoretskaia, the founder and producer of Show One Productions, who brought Igudesman & Joo to Tornto – this morning they are both up, on the treadmills, doing their stretching, exercises and warm ups for their upcuming Canadian performances – here is something they found on their research about Canada: It’s Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, and a man makes his way to his seat right at center ice. He sits down, noticing that the seat next to him is empty. He leans over and asks his neighbor if someone will be sitting there. “No,” says the neighbor. “The seat is empty.” “This is incredible”, said the man. “Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for final game of the Stanley Cup playoffs and not use it?” The neighbor says “Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Stanley Cup we haven’t been to together since we got married in 1967.” “Oh … I’m sorry to hear that. That’s terrible. But couldn’t you find someone else, a friend or relative, or even a neighbor to take the seat?” The man shakes his head “No, they’re all at the funeral.”
