two violinists

The scoop: Yesterday, #1 Son fiddled his way into winning first place in a concerto competition. The winner (the aforesaid #1 Son...) was awarded the honor of performing a solo with the Orchestra of Northern New York in March. The winner (a.k.a. you-know-who) will also walk away with a tidy stack of cash. We are grateful for the orchestra's generosity!

Anyway, that's what the hubbub is all about.

In other news: after the competition, we hopped in the PT and drove four hours south to attend a fabulous concert. The incomparable Joshua Bell joined the Albany Symphony at the magnificent Palace Theater. We perched ourselves in the next-to-uppermost row and reveled in his glorious sound and electrifying stage presence.

Never enough music for this mom!
