Its my last night on Ischia. Our concert which we prepared for all week was this afternoon. I wish I had a video camera to show you all the music that we made today. As it is, I have video of the Mozart piece that we played. But because of the very slow internet connection here at the Hotel Grazia Terme, I will only be able to download the video in the future. But to be sure, its coming.
It is 11:15 PM. I still have to pack and then catch a taxi to the port tomorrow morning to catch the ferry in time to get a taxi to get to the train station to catch the train to Siena. I arrive on Saturday afternoon. I have all day Sunday for myself. The cooking classes begin on Monday. Hopefully I will have the time and the bandwidth to up load the movement that I was part of.
Stay tuned.
In the meantime, I have made some wonderful friends, some of whom live close enough to Massachusetts to get together once in a while to make some great music. Here are a few pictures from the concert.

Short posting tonight. Stay tuned in the next couple of days. Anticipating a better internet connection to relate a more complete picture of the week's events.
Ciao
