The new year finds me back in Miami hard at work during tax season. April 14th was the worst with a twelve hour day. Enrolled in Chamber Music class at the community college so I can attempt to play the cello after a year hiatus. Took in a couple of concerts. One was 3/29/14 Symphonic Indulgence by NWS -- Glinka Overture to Ruslan and Ludmilla, Rachmaninoff Concerto #2 in Cm for Piano and Orchestra, op. 18, Albeniz Suite Espoanola, Respighi Pines of Rome--a lot of music for free. The other was a MDC production of Gilbert and Sullivan's the Mikado, re-imagined with some Miami political jokes and white wigs and painted faces Japanesey style. Interesting but I guess I need to see a more traditional version for comparison. Looking forward to going back up north. Going to spend our anniversary in St. Augustine as Earl has never been there.
