Although it was a cold and windy night outside, the ambience inside was warm and cozy for Saturday’s benefit concert. Thank you to Jim and Joann for sharing your beautiful house with us, and thanks as well to Dagmar for the delicious desserts! Guests were treated to music by Gliere, Ravel, and Boieldieu as they sipped champagne, and the decadent Prince Regent torte made its appearance just in time for selections from Schubert’s Winterreise. Linzer cookies, tea, and coffee helped round out the evening.

We greatly enjoyed this chance to present a preview of our March 5 concert in this intimate, special atmosphere. Donations will be taken to the Food Bank on February 22.
