Beginning to blog...

Our first blog entry.... We're looking at six weeks and counting until opening night at Lakeside School. It's an exciting time, the phones are ringing, emails are pouring in and we're starting to look at ways to introduce new people to our organization. Before I even worked here, I attended a concert in the summer of 2005. Toby had programmed the Ravel String Quartet in F with The Trout as the finale, on the pre-concert recital was the Kodaly Duo for Violin and Cello. It was the most amazing performance I had ever attended in my life. I was sitting three rows away from the stage and can still remember the delicate gossamer-like piano the group created in the Ravel. I don't remember breathing or being distracted at all. I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to get out of my seat afterwards and applaud. It was the concert that made me want to be a part of this organization and I have never looked back.
