my saturday group finally met, after more than a month off. The holidays, the weather, travel, all conspired against us. We had 5 of us today! We started with violin/cello - a Telemann piece, very nice. When our violist showed up we started a Mozart Divertmento. Then our other cellist showed up and she and I doubled on the Mozart. When our 2nd violinist showed up we switched to string quintets. I got another shot at the Schubert...one of my all-time favorite pieces...it's so much fun to play. We finished with a Taneev string quintet (2 violins, viola, 2 cellos...there is Taneev string quintet with 2 violas...but we never seem to have 2 violas) That one was deemed worthy of another time reading though it.
very fun and sure nice to play with everyone again!
and really good news ... I got pictures of my new cello ... hope I will get it in a month or so....

Sounds like you've had quite a good week of cello playing with your groups. I can't wait to see pictures of your new cello!
Sounds like a fun group. How exciting that you're getting a new cello!
it is a fun group, I am very fortunate to have found not just one, but 2 chamber groups that I enjoy playing with. I'll have to post some pictures of the new cello being built...been too lazy to post...
