The Schubert Octet concert is tomorrow afternoon! We finished all three rehearsals and I am very excited to perform the piece. It's been great to work with those talented musicians. Because the octet is not very often played, this may be the only performance opportunity! And I realized this is my first Schubert chamber music performance (that surprised me, too).
Our open rehearsal on Thursday had to start with a lecture on the piece and a Q and A session with our audience because our cellist's car broke down on her way. Luckily that happened very close to the venue, we managed to start the actual rehearsal 45 minutes late. It was nice to play for an audience that up close and they told us they enjoyed it as well.
Anyway... it's FREE admission at Chappaqua Library (195 S Greeley Ave Chappaqua, NY 10514). 3pm tomorrow! Please come and enjoy beautiful music.
