An Unusual Request
This past weekend we played on the wonderful St. Croix Concert Series in Stillwater, MN. The concert was at the spectacular Trinity Lutheran Church.
We played the Haydn A Major Trio (a really great one - gorgeous slow movement!), the Ives Trio (incredible - parts sound like Mahler, other parts sound like Ta Ra Ra Boom De Ay), and the Brahms B Major Trio. Brahms B is definitely one of my absolute favorite pieces ever :-)
After the Brahms, this sweet older woman approached me and asked if we play private events. I said sure, sometimes. She said "I'd like you to play at my funeral."

Me too! But I have a while to go, I hope!
In the meantime, while still alive and breathing, I am looking forward to your eventual return to Norfolk, Virginia. And if you play either Beethoven's Archduke, or Arensky, or Shostakovich (1 or 2), I'll be in heaven BEFORE I die!
I think that's a compliment?
We'll be playing in Richmond, VA next season - Saturday, September 25 at Virginia Commonwealth University. I don't know the program yet but we'll see what we can do about your requests!
I'm with Liz Simon on this one....
