Children's Choir, and (drumroll) Ondes Martenot player Thomas Bloch!

I was lucky enough to attend the concert, and meet Thomas Bloch afterwards.
He is very genial, and was very happy to explain a number of details 
about the Ondes Martenot to the many people who flocked around after 
the fact. He left the regular speakers (Palme, Resonnance, 
Metallique, and regular) at home, and opted for a small modern 
amplifier.

If anyone is interested, I have jpgs of his ondes, including a 
closeup of the control drawer, I'd be willing to post.

Lucky you.  Yes, please post the pictures.
With the modern amp does he use any effects (reverb etc) to simulate
the specialty speakers?

I'm glad you had a chance to meet him.  I've conversed with him once or 
twice by e-mail and he seems pretty nice.  He's actually on both of my 
programs now, playing ondes Martenot on Spellbound, a brief program of 
music for theremin, and playing glass armonica on the upcoming program 
Spellbound: Musique de Verre.  Talented guy with a thing for rare 
instruments.
