Musical Happenings

Dear Reader,

The cold of Boston in January was balanced with espresso & hot chocolate by the fireplace, study and travel, and learning music for upcoming concerts.

Seeing the destruction of the Los Angeles fires brought many memories of our own fire trauma from 2007. We are doing what we can to assist people in the area, especially the musicians. Thank you to all of you who are present for your neighbors.

Thank you for reading and hope to see you at a concert!

Musically,
Aaron

I may play a piece on concerts this month... I'm currently composing a set of piano miniatures, a work for choir & guitar, and a couple of guitar solos.
