Classical Concerts

Last Sunday afternoon I took the HS Orchestra kids to Basel to see a free concert. Then Monday evening (a week ago today), a group of staff members went to the exact same concert hall to watch a performance of the Brahms Requiem. There was quality music, as well as some odd finds on the street!

       

After all that, last week was a rather low-key week of class. Students were tired and ready for Spring Break. Several departed for Spring Break ministry trips to various countries around the world. Finally, Spring Break has come.

In effort to rest and rejuvenate, Emily and I are going hiking! We’re leaving tomorrow morning from the nearby town of Marzell and hiking to the Titisee (a well-known lake on the Westweg trail that goes through the Black Forest). From there we’ll catch a train to Füssen and meet up with another BFA teacher and see the famous Neuschwanstein castle together. Pray for safety and good weather and a chance to re-connect on a deeper level with our Creator.
