Salon Concert, June 2016

It's amazing how much joy you can bring people with your music.  

My woodwind quintet was hired to play a surprise salon concert for a life long music lovers birthday party up in Marin. We were very excited for this being told that we would have a very appreciative audience and a lot of freedom in producing the program. 

We weren't expecting to have SUCH an appreciative audience. I have never before been told so genuinely how much the music ment to them. It was a great feeling to bring so many memories and smiles to all of their faces. It felt really amazing to make their days.  

Before hand they kept insisting that we eat as many appetizers and drinks as we like. And then afterwords they wouldn't let us leave without eating as least one full plate of dinner and then kept insisting on giving us seconds.

They were so sweet to us because we brought then so much joy.  

It was truly a gig I won't easily forget.
