The postings have been few and far between lately, what with me being in Sunriver, Oregon for the 33rd edition of the Sunriver Music Festival. The festival got off to a running start with the opening night pops concert, featuring music from the 30’s and 40’s, which the audience greatly enjoyed. Principal trumpeter Jeffrey Work was fresh off the plane from Mahler’s Fifth Symphony in Boulder, Colorado, and still had the energy to play a full slate of demanding charts as well as two solo turns impersonating the great Harry James.
The next morning, it was right in to the ‘real’ work. Not much to say about that – one rehearsal’s pretty much the same as another. However, the Central Oregon highways were beckoning for me to get out there on the bike, and the last two days have amounted to over 60 miles worth of cycling so far. The weather will be getting pretty hot over the weekend, so I anticipate some non-cycling activities in the coming afternoons.
Here are some photos from the festival so far:
