Yesterday’s wet weather did nothing to dampen the fire of either performance I was fortunate to attend. Full reviews of the St. Petersberg String Quartet at Mepkin Abbey and the first concert by Tacy Edwards’ Charleston Virtuosi will be in your paws shortly, but for now suffice it to say that both left a huge smile on my face.

I ran into a friend on my way to the Charleston Virtuosi concert who informed me that the May 30th performance of Amahl had actually featured Will Isaacson as Amahl. No mention of the understudy being used had been given prior to the performance, so please forgive the error.
