Now the SLSO
takes the show to Carnegie Hall as
part of the China Festival: Ancient
Paths, Modern Voices. I'm holding the
Powell Hall fort, so I've asked a few folks to keep me updated.
With a little time in between the
last concert and the first Carnegie
rehearsal, some of the musicians
made some alternate travel plans. Cellist Bjorn Ranheim passed through Louisville to visit a
friend and is now en route to NYC.
The Harrises, Heidi and Erik (associate concertmaster and
principal double bass, respectively), are already on the
town. Erik writes: "Heidi and I arrived yesterday (Monday) sans children, are
making the most of this 'working/romantic'
weekend. Dinner last night at Gascogne,
a cute French restaurant in Chelsea, looking forward to lots of walking today
through Central Park to the
Guggenheim, stopping first at that holiest of shrines, Barney's."
