Nursing Home Performance

Today I brought 6 students to the nursing home to perform duets and solos for the elderly people living there.  I was a little nervous introducing the students in German, but I know the important part came across when I could hear an echo of “Bach” or “Waltz” after I announced the pieces!

The cellist from orchestra decided to join the group, so we played one of her Popper etudes. I played the accompaniment part on violin.

Overall, the concert went well. The kids had a good time performing, and the residents appreciated the music.
