Sun's Blog - Week 3

On Sunday, we had a house concert. I picked up Jodi at 1:45, loaded food on trunk and went to Mrs. Gross house. When we got there around 2, Jodi's helpers came too. I was busy working in the kitchen with the food and snacks for the concert. The musicians also came to rehearse before the concert. At 3:30, people started coming, so I had to help getting coats and giving out the program books. People were getting wine and snacks before the concert, so we had to keep preparing for food. The program started at around 4, and the first piece was Violin Sonata Op. 27, No.6 in E Major by E. Ysaye. Timothy Kanter, the violinist, played it wonderfully. This piece is one of the most difficult pieces to play, so I was impressed that he played it. The second piece, The Swan by C.Saint-Saens, was played by the trio, Timothy, Annalisa Boerner, and Brian Thornton. Brian Thornton actually plays with Cleveland Orchestra. The last piece, my favorite, was String Trio No. 1 in E Flat Major, Op. 3 by L. van Beethoven. It was a 30 minute-piece, but for me, it sounded so much shorter than 30 minutes. After the concert was over, people stayed around to have some food and drinks. I helped Jodi till 8. It was tiring yet fun experience.
