\nSaturday night was the performance at The Seasons performance hall in Yakima, Washington. It was a great chance to play wonderful music with great friends and colleagues, especially violinist Denise Dillenbeck (nee Huizenga), who was formerly a violinist with the Oregon Symphony and founding violinist of the Ethos Quartet with Lisa Hansen, myself, and Heather Blackburn. It was a joy to share chamber music making with Denise again!
\nThere was an audience of about 100 at the hall for the concert, and they were a great audience – listening intently to everything, and giving wonderful and warm receptions to each of the pieces. There was even a good-sized contingent of violists from Central Washington University – nice!
\nMaking the entire experience even better, the hall (a former Christian Science church) is acoustically excellent – it made me wish that we had such a wonderful chamber music sized hall for both audience and performers in Portland.
\nWhat’s next? The Oregon Symphony begins rehearsals for next weekend’s classical subscription series concert. It’s a biggie. Elgar’s sprawling tone poem Falstaf<\/em>f, along with Mozart’s ‘Prague’ Symphony, Ravel’s Menuet Antique<\/em>, and music from Walton’s Henry V Suit<\/em>e.<\/p>\n
