Our concert Tuesday night went fairly well ... Not our best work in my opinion, but it was a long and difficult program, so at some point you just have to be happy that you survived! We played Romance for Viola by Bruch, Ouverture and Incidental Music from Mendelssohn's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' (If you didn't know, one of the numbers is The Wedding March) and finally Ballade der Königssohn (not sure what that one is in English, something about the King's son).
I tried to be proactive about getting lots of pictures ... Semi-success, the bulk of them are on Facebook :)
My friend Sibylle is a violist, the second violins and the violas are pretty much partners in crime at this point ...
Somebody had a friend in the audience with a good camera, because guess who we can see QUITE clearly: Front row, all the way to the left. Oh hi.
Bigger shot, although it's during the Mendelssohn, and that's only the women's choir (and it's a bit cut off; you can't even see the basses).
Naturally the bulk of us relocated to L'Ecritoire as per tradition -- That's a café/bar in the Place de la Sorbonne just a little ways up the street. I caught pretty much the last trains to get home. Turns out that the downside to my new location is an inability to go home on foot whenever I so desire. Drat.
