For all.. well, zero of you that were quite concerned with what the mystical maids of the bassoon quartet were going to call themselves, the issue was resolved about two weeks ago...
We are now the Maderas Bassoon Quartet, courtesy of Jessie’s suggestion and Rebecca and Lisa’s failure to complain about it. I quite like it. It sounds good and has a little flow to it. It’s regional without being southwestern. Or related to cactus. Or mountain ranges. Or animals. During my undergrad at the big bad U, every student ensemble was “Rincon” or “Catalina”. Add to all of those fabulous positives the fact that I now have a name and heading under which to file all things bassoon quartet related, and you’ve got bassoon quartet gold!

We wrapped up public concert no. 2 on Thursday afternoon to a much more satisfying crowd of 30 or so (versus the mom and two kids that came to our rug concert last month) who seemed to enjoy our antics as well as our music. I’ll hopefully figure out how to put sound files on here sometime after my solo(ish) recital next Wednesday.

My friend Rebecca (not the bassoonist) was kind enough to share her thoughts about the recital somewhere that I could share it with you! All zero of you! Thanks, Anna, Kevin, Mom, and Rebecca for coming!!!
