Great selections. The Egmont was one of the first pieces of classical music I learned in my college music class. Hope to see you Saturday night.

Great concert tonight. Thanks for letting us know. Liane loved the strings. The adagio was lovely.

Yes, thanks Cat
It was indeed a great pleasure to hear Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 2 live!
(I have two versions of this on CD - one scratchy version played by Rachmaninov himself).

A great concert and a great cause! I particulary enjoyed the Adagio and Rachmaninoff. Thanks for posting & playing - it was a lovely way to spend an evening.

Thank you!
Deep thanks to all who came and helped make it a special and successful event! I have been trying to find out how much we raised for the Red Cross, after the rental of the hall and timpani and that kind of thing. I believe it is in the order of $3000. I'm sure the effects of this will be felt in many small and significant ways -- a few more hungry mouths fed, homes rebuilt, vaccinations administered.
And of course i hope you'll come to One World concerts in the future.
Cheers!
Cat
