Another concert of fine performances, and a good time is had by all. Very impressive string section (though we will miss, Clare, who is moving to Boston to persue her Master's in Viola at New England Conservatory), and a basically smooth rehearsal/performance cycle. Also nice to see Patti and John, Michael McDonagh, Alan Crossman, Phil Freihoffner, Ariella's large and talented family, and many other friendly folks.
Two hours before the show, manage to squeeze in two videos: that of Variations and Theme: VIII and
IX.
The day starts with a trip with Harriet to Firestone, two more pages (22-23) composed for Vespers: XI. Sancta Maria, Ora Pro Nobis,
the requisite fashion statement made adjacent to
historic
locales,
then the jump to
San Francisco,
with a sideshow
petrol adventure on Yerba Buena /
Treasure Islands.
After the show, return through Marin to post videos, etc.
