Last weekend was the third series concert of the Ocala Symphony Orchestra where I have sat principle cello for the past 10 years. Featured was pianist John O'Conor who played the Beethhoven 3rd Piano Concerto and a collection of Irish tunes arranged for him. He is a very fine pianist and it was a real pleasure to work with him. Fingal's Cave (Hebrides) was on the program as well as a small bit from Verdi"s "Macbeth". My buddy Lyle Lamboley sat with me on the first stand and that is always a pleasure. In the Gainesville Chamber Orchestra we switch places and he sits principle. Keeps each of us from getting a big head!
Friday Duo Cellissimo will play at Dale's Salon in downtown Gainesville for the monthly Art Walk. Haven't done this before and we're looking forward to it. Should be fun.
