Going for Baroque

Snaps from the Baroque Chamber Music Concert. Everyone played so well. Works by Corelli, Bach, Telemann, and Muthel--about as nice a way to spend fifty minutes as I can recall.















A Tokaj 'scape

Nope, we didn't get a drop of rain.


Orchestra!

Out of this will come Beethoven's 5th symphony, conducted by Maestro Delta David Gier.




Tune-in on sensitivity

With Airi Rink and a student.



Ellen and Kristin--again!

At Tune-in Wednesday, Ellen Rose and Kristin Ditlow Yuan presented Abodah (Divine service) by Ernst Bloch.
