Your last concert was to see who and when?

A husband-and-wife classical piano four hands duo at Hilo College Music Auditorium in Hilo HI, a couple days ago.  They sat at a well-used, battleship-sized Steinway.  The hall was only about a quarter full, and me and the wife had tenth-row seats a bit to the right on the soundboard side.  The sound was very midrangey compared to the sound I get when I sit at my century-old Mason-Hamlin upright but still convincingly beautiful.  Naturally, the duo were so much better than me it was a sick joke.  The Schubert, especially, was a full-on treat.

Me and the wife hosted an acoustic jam last night on the back porch.  Two fiddles, Celtic Harp, a guitar and a banjo.  Fidelity was high.  Musicianship was, to use a euphemism, good natured...

Trio Con Brio.  Violin, cello and piano.  Hilo College Auditorium.  That same battleship Steinway.  Fifteenth row, dead center.  Haydn, Ravel, Shostakovitch.  A bit too far away for full on audiophile ecstasy, but some good playin'.

The musical "Gypsy" at the 1920's era Palace Theater in Hilo.  Last night.  All the vocalists were miked but the pit band (which included strings) was purely acoustic.  Singing.  Dancing.  Me and the wife had a good time.

Last night. Solo piano recital by Rachel Cheung, this year's Van Cliburn Audience Award winner.

Lots of evocative, excellently played street music on the streets of Greece. Played with dash, style, fun and emotion.
