I was worried we weren't cute enough to make her blog but Emily, our photographer from back in June, just posted some of her favorites from our session on our blog. Yippeee! Lily already looks so different....
Today is an exciting day! Brian is playing a REALLY big IMPORTANT piece called Konzertstuck by Schumann this weekend. It's a concerto for 4 horns and orchestra so the 4 horn players of the North Carolina Symphony, with Brian at the helm, will stand IN FRONT of the orchestra and play this beautiful and exciting piece. My in laws are flying in to hear it! Brian has been working on his part since May and he sounds great. He brought home a recording of their rehearsal with the orchestra yesterday and they sounded so AWESOME. I am so pumped about the first performance tonight that my eyes flew open at 6AM today, and I was wide awake. Brian's still asleep...
I am so proud of Brian! He has a really hard job because there are so many opportunities to mess up. Any break in concentration can equal disaster, musically speaking. Last weekend he had a really high, hard, and important part in Beethoven's 7 Symphony and he did so great. I heard it on Friday night and my heart was leaping out my chest with pride and joy for how good he was sounding. After the concert was over, like at 10:15 pm, the conductor held a short question and answer session for anyone in the audience who wanted to come down and sit at the front near the stage. He picks one member of the orchestra to join him and he picked Brian last weekend. I was so tickled to see the 50 or so people hanging out so late at night admiring him and curious about how he does what he does. It was very cool. We are so blessed.
