Quartetto Gelato

I received a huge surprise.  Free tickets to see Quartetto Gelato last night and was blown away by their talent. 

 
From world champion accordian playing to the Oboe players ability to play 14 instruments and do acrobatics.  It was amazing.  Thanks to my Guitar Teacher for the tickets. 

PS: I proudly knit my socks wilst I sat and stared in amazement  at the stage.  
Take care!

Sleeping Beauty

We saw the most delightful performance last night.  Jörgen ballet’s version of Sleeping Beauty at the Rebecca Cohn.  There’s nothing like the sound of pointe shoes on a stage floor.  I’m always amazed by the strength and fortitude it takes to perform all of those scenes and make it look easy.  The pit orchestra was awesome, with the sound of the bassoon and the harp.  Lovely!   

   
 

Sable Island

I listened to a fascinating lecture about archaeological finds on Sable Island Tuesday night.  It was hosted by the Nova Scotia Archaeology society.  The presentor was Charles Burke an archeologist with Parks Canada.  I’ve had the good fortune of hearing him speak before about his archaeological adventures.  

  
He’s a great champion of public archeaology.  I agree we all should preserve the past.  Culture is what makes us human.
