Happy spring to all of you! When I’m not teaching or practicing I’m watching the bird show here on these acres.Bruce and I have reserved a block of 30 tickets at the student rate of $10.00 for parents and students to hear the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra concert on Saturday, April 26, at 8 p.m. at the Ordway. Gil Shaham will be performing the Korngold Concerto, and at 7 p.m. at the pre-concert lecture will be demonstrating the timbres of various violins. This promises to be fascinating; I hope you’ll all attend. Please RSVP to me so I can give a final count to the box office.

This event is on the evening following our afternoon concert at the house, and is also the evening before our Salvation Army concert. (see below)
