Back to Snowmass and the Aspen Music Festival & School

Festival and School now in full swing. Concerts, opera, masterclasses. It's all brilliant.

Between times , we fit in a bit of bus driving for me , and gardening for Gracie for Mary and the odd Tom Blake or Ditch trail on mountain bike.

                        Our resident music student Erica , flautist, who was with us 2 years ago
                        when we were on our trans am trip. Erica plays in the American
                        Academy of Conducting ( ACA ) Orchestra at the Benedict Music Tent each Tuesday.
                        We are avid supporters.
                             Mary had done all this on her own before I got back. Note: these steps about to be torn up and smart new entrance made by the residents assn. as part of the upgrading process. Next blog entry may show a different picture!
                                                    Hopefully this will not be disturbed
                                           Outside the Music tent for the Sunday Aspen Symphony concert
                                               Strolling around during the interval
                                           For many, this is preferable to being inside and on many occasions for us
                                                too
                                       not on this one though. The 'reward' for putting up a music student and at every performance at any venue for 8 weeks. A huge thrill . On this occasion Beethoven's Fifth, I think, preceded by a Mozart piano concerto
                                   About to set off on an expedition on the Ditch trail .
