Sometimes when I open this browser to write something new, I picture four people shouting back at me, "WHO CARES?!?" I get over the uneasiness pretty quick, though, because it'll be like four people coming into my living room and getting ticked off whenever I speak. And that's not very polite and, hey, what are they doing with their feet on my coffee table, anyway? (As if I have a coffee table.)
What is happening this month?
August 5-10: The band and I will be teaching at a small chamber music institute in Oakville, Ontario which is very near and dear to me. I had spent a few summers there when I was a teenager and it changed the way I looked at music. To be a part of it now, and as faculty, is humbling.
August 6: A concert featuring works by Mozart, Bartok, and Beethoven. You want to come? Email me for details.
August 25-28: The quartet is making a brief journey to Nobody-Really-Knows-Exactly, California for a small chamber music festival. We will be perform a concert with the venerable Ms. Hampton.
