Concert Review - I was surprised at the layout of the venue. The location was the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club, in what looked like their central dining room or club room area. In this area, they had shoehorned in a symphony orchestra and a grand piano! Despite the fact that we were sitting in the third row, the acoustics were such that the music was delightfully sparkling and not too loud or soft. In particular, the piano almost seemed quiet. I've heard that Chopin himself, who loathed public concerts and indeed gave only 30 in his lifetime, was criticized for playing too softly. So I imagined that Gustavo Romero was Chopin himself! The program was interspersed with readings about the life of Chopin, which was refreshing and created a whole experience that exceeded my expectations. The food afterward was suitably light for dinner at 10:00 pm. I'm looking forward to the next performance! Today's photo - above - (soon to be archived) is my betorthed and I just before heading out the door to the concert.
