Hey, it's Friday. How did that happen?
Jan. 23rd, 2026 12:33 pmone day at a time, as usual. But still....
no FCB rehearsal on Monday because the schools were closed for MLK Jr Day. It's possible that the schools would've been closed anyway, although the weather wasn't as bad here as it was on the west side of the state.
Wednesday evening, I ushered a terrific concert at Hill Auditorium. Orquestra Sinfonica Mineria (from Mexico City) did a concert featuring mostly Latin American composers. (They played at Hill a couple of years ago, and they are just so much fun! Very good players, the music is well chosen, and they seem to have fun playing it.) The first half of the concert featured an outstanding trumpet player, who played Haydn's First Trumpet Concerto and a d'Rivera Trumpet Concerto (there were eight different trumpets on stage, and he played all of them at one point or another). The second half was Latin composers, and had two pieces that I've played (Ginastera's Estancia and Marquez' Danzon No 2). I've been humming Danzon ever since
Today, it is cold (-1F before wind chill). It's very pretty outside, all snow-covered and clear, but it's much better enjoyed from inside a warm house. :) Jiji is sulking because it's snow-covered, and is disdaining the warm spot in a sunbeam with a view of the outside, preferring his nest on the bed. Annabelle doesn't mind that it's snow-covered, and is sleeping in a cozy bed in a sunbeam (one of her usual spots).
