Summer plans

Back together again, performing at Norseland Nursing Home
Well, the school year is nearly out, so we're ready to get back to work this summer! We had our first performance this year all together at the local nursing home, a few days after Hannah arrived home from college on summer break. We threw together a few pieces that we've played many times because we had pretty much two days to practice together. 
Hannah, happy to be back with the group
Our program included an arrangement of W.A. Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, one of our favorites, as well as other familiar tunes like Pachelbel's Canon in D, Ch. Gounod's Ave Maria, and Peter Heidrich's Happy Birthday Variations.
Our little violist, Agnes, enjoys the beautiful sound of her new, slightly larger, viola
Now that we're all home, we can start practicing together again. Yay! We already have a wedding in LaCrosse to play at the end of the month, we have plans for potentially playing at the Wisconsin State Fair again, and we are hoping for many more performances this summer.
Hope to see you around!
