April 21 2002 - Harmonica and Violin Concert

 

Last weekend we had a great opportunity to perform our violins in a concert at a local community center. You can read more about our musical background here but here was the story about last week's concert. Sarah is teaching 3 kids the violin and one of the parents is quite a go getter and always out for an opportunity to show off Sarah's violin ability. Apparently he has some friends who come to Hondo once a year to give a harmonica concert and he thought it would be a good idea to to combine the harmonica with the violin. So he made all the arrangements and so we were sharing the bill with a group of harmonica players from Kumamoto City. He was eager to promote the event and so in the weeks leading up to the concert it was hard to enter any store in Hondo without coming across the official concert poster.

Finally the day came and it was quite a nice time. Sarah played 6 solo pieces and Mamiko (our flute playing boss) and I joined on one piece. Our friend Mihoko accompanied us on the piano for all of the pieces. Also Sarah's three students each played a piece that they had been workin on. It was a nice concert and we were glad many of our friends from Hondo could enjoy our music.
