salience

We played our final MWE show Monday night. To our surprise, Arnold Rosner, a composer of one of the pieces we were performing (Eclipse), came! He is in his 60s, and doesn't move too easily, but it was nevertheless very exciting to play for him, and everyone else who came. We made close to $1,000 in donations, which was much needed for this ensemble. Renting rehearsal and performance space and buying your own music for a 50 person group is no cheap endeavor!

Here are a few pictures of some of my favorite people in the group (mostly fellow clarinets):
