A Return Trip

Back in March of 2002, we played one of our early performances of the Beethoven "Triple" Concerto at the Barclay Theatre at UC Irvine. It was a great experience for us -- great hall, great orchestra, great conductor! This was us then:


Almost a month ago, we went back to play at the Barclay Theatre, but without the orchestra! It was fun trying to see how much we remembered of the space. Here we are, post-concert at the CD signing table:


I am somehow still wearing a similar colour! My good friend, Kelly Kuo, happened to be in town so he came out to support us.






Kelly is a conductor now, but is multi-talented and plays the piano as well. He apparently plays the clarinet but I haven't heard him!

We heard that Beethoven Triple and it was fantastic! Do you have any more Beethoven Triples in the works for next season???

You look older now compared to then. That's actually a good thing for young women still in their 20's because you won't get carded as much.

Actually, we prefer getting carded these days, as we near the big three-o!!!!!

I can barely wait until you play again at the Gardner Museum. At least I can follow your concerts in your blog in the meantime.

Dear Histfan,

Don't forget! The Gardner concerts are October 21, 2007; January 13, 2008; and March 16, 2008. But what do you have against summer concerts in the area? The Claremont reportedly will be playing some concerts in Boston the week of June 4 (dates as yet undetermined). They will play at Bard College on June 16 and again on August 12 and 18. They will play on the Rockport (MA) Chamber Music Festival on June 21. They will open the chamber music series at the Saratoga (NY) Performing Arts Festival (the Philadelphia Orchestra's equivalent of Tamglewood) on July 31. And they will play on Martha's Vineyard at Chappaquiddick on August 2. You ought to plan your summer vacation around some of these dates, the way the rest of us do!

Hortense and Horatio
