What I Did on my Summer Vacation!

I spent a week in the moutains near Mendocino playing the cello at  a chamber music camp.  This was much fun, and very intense work.  In the end I managed to perform Dido's Lament by Henri Purcell with three other cellists, and a portion of Brahms Hungarian Dances (No. 4) as part of a quintet.  There were a fair number of rough edges, but I was thrilled inasmuch as I had never done this before.  I met lots of fine people and got a lot of excercise lugging my cello from place to place.  A major high point among several was the faculty concert of  the great Schubert Quintet.  Wow!  So much richness!
