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!

Purple! Awesome. I've always liked purple. Someone recently had a blog about seeing a purple lady. I think it was "Laura and her thoughts" (see Guanaco's list)
If you really want to feel humbled check out that 9-year old boy playing the JC Bach Concerto in Gm. Musicgal linked to it from her Cello Zone blog (http://cellozone91.blogspot.com/)
Whoa, purple bow hair! I have seen a purple violin before... that would be an awesome pair.
(Thanks for the plug, cellodonna! ;-) )
One of the students in our local orchestra plays a purple violin. I have also seen a purple bow. And, I have even seen a violinist with purple hair. But never a bow with purple hair!
I have a purple bow. Not a great bow, but I just couldn't resist it. :-)
I saw the Colorado Quartet recently, and the cellist played one piece with a bow with red hair. To match their black and red outfits, I think. The CQ is 4 women. They play beautifully, and their concert dress is always eye-catching.
I didn't realize there were so many purple things to make music! How awesome.
