What it’s all about

If you ever lose sight of why you’re practicing all those hours and need a reminder, a little motivation, here’s a little Time For 3,  including my old WWS schoolmate Nick Kendall.  The guy lives and breathes the violin.  It’s amazing.   You can’t help loving it.   It’s what string music is all about!

Bandits Gigs

After two great gigs at the Spring Recital and the May Fair at CWS, then Bandits are taking the summer off.   

Spring Student Recital!

This Sunday, 3pm at the Chicago Waldorf School.  Lots of great music on the program — it’s very exciting! 

 

soapbox string quartet

marathon string recording session last night at soapbox.  seven hours!  violin, viola, cello and double bass.  it was great to play with some really talented chicago musicians:  becca wilcox, emma dayhuff and billie howard.  and we got four paver songs down for our acoustic release.  the strings with real harpsichord sound great.  just waiting on vocal overdubs and then it’s off to be mixed.  can’t wait!
