Last night we went to a concert presented by the Seattle Chamber Music Society. The pre-concert recital featured Schumann's Carnaval, which I absolutely love. It was such a treat to listen to it live.
The actual concert started with a 2 violin + piano piece by Moritz Moszkowski. One of the violinists had a bow with purple hair. It was color-coordinated with the violinist's dress. I want a bow with purple hair! It looked so cool!
The last piece in the concert was Dvorak's Piano Quartet in D Major, Op. 23. I had never heard it before and was so in awe of the cellist, Robert deMaine. He sounded incredible, as did the rest of the ensemble. I was really focused on watching him play and wishing that I could play half as well.
Purple bow hair. How awesome is that??? That, to me, was the real hit of the evening!
