Katie's first symphony concert, Sun., Nov. 9

Sunday afternoon was Katie's first symphony concert -- and she did really well! Our friends from PA, Keith and Lori, have a high-school age son who is a very talented percussionist. He plays in the Youth Orchestra of San Antonio (the philharmonic level, VERY good), and their first concert was this weekend. We knew two of the pieces - Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez", arranged for harp, and Copland's "Billy the Kid" suite. It sure helped to have been able to play them for Katie in advance, and she really enjoyed the music. We were proud parents, of course.

Next Sunday the San Antonio Symphony has a kids' concert - "Peter and the Wolf". Katie is very excited already! Now if we could just find a copy of the CD in the library...
