Clemson
Last weekend we played at Clemson University in South Carolina where we really enjoyed the southern hospitality and the warm weather! After a morning presentation for hundreds of school kids, we had a wonderful lunch outside on the terrace with Lillian Harder who runs the series and her assistant, Theresa Peppel. We were glad to find that they share our love of sweets!
That night at our main concert we had the third largest audience that the series has ever had! This sign may have helped :-)
We were thrilled about that and came out to the lobby after the concert to greet folks and sign some of our cds. We also did a short radio interview as you can see here - check out that furry microphone! 
Lillian started this totally free chamber music series with her husband and we were honored to be able to open the 20th anniversary season.

Third largest audience??? Who drew the largest and second largest? I bet they must have been pop or crossover artists. As anyone at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in that liberal bastion of Boston will tell you, the Claremont Trio is the biggest audience draw in classical music today!
Humberto
Humberto was right on - Lang Lang and The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields were 1 and 2. It's only a matter of a handful of people for places 2 and 3!
And ye gods - strike that last picture from the blog. My eyes! my eyes!
Hey! I think I've sat at that table at Clemson! :-)
