the pleasures of working and not working

Sunday was one of those days in which I took off my Oregon Symphony hat and put on my freelance violist hat. I was on leave from the pops series, so I was not at the hall for the OSO’s pops matinee on Sunday, but I was at the hall for an evening performance of the annual MetroArts, Inc. Young Artists Debut! Concerto Competition winners (as always, ably led by Niel DePonte).  It’s always a joy to see and hear these amazing young musicians, so accomplished at such young ages.

But, it was strange for me to be on my bike ride in the afternoon swinging by the place I’d normally be getting ready to play a performance about that time, so I took a photo to commemorate the occasion.
