The Windy City String Ensemble concert was on Friday evening. It went well – we had a good turnout for it and fortunately it wasn’t too hot a day (since there’s no air-conditioning where we played). I’m not going to play in it next year – I’m going back to being a ‘parent supporter’ of the group. I joined a few years ago so West would be more comfortable in the gropu, but she’s doing fine now – she’s going to lead the second violin section next year. Ben is going to be co-concertmaster.
The piano recital was this afternoon. It went fine – Ben and West played well even though Ben was feeling ill today (he had an upset stomach in the night). Hopefully Steve will have time to upload the audio recordings of their pieces soon.
