Silverton and Beyond!

This semester promised to be filled with excitement and thus far it has delivered on it's promises! I returned late last night from the Silverton Fall Colors Chamber Music Festival where we, the artists, had the experience of making music in a beautiful, rustic, mountain town.  The artists on the concert included Tim Black, violin, viola, festival organizer; Dr. Katherine Shields, viola; and Dr. Andrew O'brian, piano.  Together performed two Dvorak miniatures, the Mozart Trio, and the Gordon Jacob Trio.  Additionally, we heard smaller works by Scirabin, Schubert, and Bill Douglas.  For me, it is really an interesting experience to perform with people in a very brief but intense setting.  We spent the first few hours reacquainting musically before we really settled in to each other's craft.  While it's not easy, I believe this to be an experience every musician should undertake at some point.  For those not so skilled, we provide workshops to pre-existing small groups.  Look for future offerings in 2013.  

I'll attach some pictures for the weekend.  Enjoy!
