I always like to read the concert program notes front to back and usually save them. The info from our last Cannon Valley Regional Orchestra concert was really interesting.

There is a list of musicians, bios on our conductor and guest soloists, as well as info on all the composers.. Check it out!

This weekend we have such great music to play for you! The Cannon Valley Regional Orchestra will be performing music from English composers the 29th and 30th of March in Northfield and Cannon Falls, MN.

One of my favorite is the suite Four Centuries by Eric Coates. Written in the darkest days of War in 1940-41, it was inspired by the bombing of London as seen from the Coates’ Baker Street flat.

In the work, he depicts dancing in the twentieth and previous three centuries: the seventeenth century, depicted by a Prelude and Hornpipe; the eighteenth, a Pavane and Tambourin; the nineteenth, a Valse (french version of Waltz); while the twentieth, ‘Rhythm’ is an affectionate tribute to the dance bands.

Come hear us play live!

I’m performing with the Cannon Valley Regional Orchestra at the end of March! The theme is English Gardens with music from English composers Holst, Handel, Coates, Elgar, & Purcell. Paul Niemisto is conducting and we have a guest soloist and organist.

We have two shows and tickets are $15 at the door:

Saturday March 29th, 3pm, @ Bethel Lutheran Church in Northfield, MN

Sunday March 30th, 3pm @ St. Ansgar’s Lutheran Church in Cannon Falls, MN

The music is so gorgeous, come join us!

Excited to be playing with the Bows Strings & Contentment Orchestra on Sunday March 9th, 6pm, at the Grand Event Center in Northfield, MN! This is a free concert featuring music from popular movies, musicals, and operas like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.

There will be a guest singer and tango dancers for some of the pieces as well as a Haydn quartet (that I’m in!) and quintet. Our conductor, Laura Geissler, has been working hard with all of us and it’s been fun to play with everyone.

The Grand is a really cool historical building that first opened in 1899 with opera and theatre performances. In 1989 it was remodeled to offer fine dining and they still serve food and drinks today, so come in early and get something before the concert!

Growing up I played multiple times a year at various retirement centers. It was a way to give back to the community and share some musical joy with the seniors. It was also a way to prepare for upcoming performances and auditions.

Thursday Feb. 27 I’ll be entertaining the residents at Northfield Retirement Community with the Bows, Strings, & Contentment Orchestra! Looking forward to this as well as our concert at The Grand in Northfield on March 9 🙂
