On Monday, March 19th, Heidi's quartet came over to run through Brahms Piano Quartet in c minor, Op.60, which hosts in it one of the most amazing cello solos ever written (3rd movement). I get chills whenever I think about it. Anyway, so I took advantage of the opportunity to host what will hopefully become the first of many "salon" style events at my place. Currently, the list of potential performances includes jazz singing, electronic/experimental music, and (of course) more classical music. Of the fifty or so people I send email to, about fifteen showed up (plus the four quartet members), which I think is about the right number of people I need to fill my place without feeling cramped. Fortunately, the piano had just been tuned the Wednesday before, and the acoustics in the room weren't too bad! I think the room could use some more wall coverings, but overall it wasn't as boomy or loud as I had anticipated it to be. If you're in the San Francisco area and would like to participate in these events, send me email. :)
