The visit was a resounding success, and the students spent about half of the visit with me. Half the time I spoke to them in slow, clear English. When anything technical came up I resorted to speaking entirely in French. There was very good feedback afterwards.
When the visitors had gone the man in charge of the building called me over. Apparently we are to be visited in a few weeks' time by a high-ranking Russian official and his entourage, and all the civic bigwigs will be there. I was told that they are all going to be covered in medals. My response to that was that their shit stinks just like ours. I was also told that the Mayor had also asked specifically that I should play. I shall play. That's my job, but I find the Mayor's politics completely abhorrent. I was actually quite shocked that he knew about my music.
