It's Annual Suzuki Concert weekend. We had the rehearsals yesterday. George came along with his camera to capture the action for the violin students. We have 13 teachers, 180 violin players and about 30 cellos. The concert is on Saturday at 3.00 pm. More photos are on my website at http://picasaweb.google.com/suzukipat

The Russian is coming ....

 
  Some pre-concert hype is being created by the CSO in advance of the all Tchaikowsky programme for its annual City Hall concert in December. Two concertos - piano and violin - with Cork´s Ciara Moroney and England´s Tasmin Little - topped off by the 1812 with the full effects.
