Tour life

We are back in Miami for a week. This is a great time of year to get away from Northeast Ohio and enjoy some sun and warm breezes. I do enjoy our visits here!

I was looking at my hotel room desk today and thought the messiness might make a good photo still-life.

Reedmaking tools, reeds, Kindle, snacks and nutrition supplements for exercise dominate. Fortunately, the dirty laundry was already bagged!  Sometimes the bathroom turns into a laundry area on longer trips.

We are playing some colorful music this week:  Bolero, Enigma Variations, Mendelssohn Violin Concerto, Berlioz Roman Carnival, Carmen Suite, etc.

Our conductor is Giancarlo Guerrero, who was just named Principal Guest Conductor for our Miami Residencies.  He brings a big personality and friendly nature to his music making that should work well here.
