Christmas Strings

Some of you may remember that my son's string quintet was scheduled to perform at the Christmas Open House at the library where I work.  Last night was the open house, and it went very well.  In the children's department, there were crafts, and cookies and punch, and visits with Santa, of course.  In the adult department there was Christmas music performed by the quintet.  The kids did a wonderful job and were well received.  My son is the one standing in the back to the left playing the upright bass.


I recorded a couple of the songs if you'd like to listen.  They are both fairly short.

Thank you, Mildred, Speedy, and David. They played Christmas music for 45 minutes under the Carnegie Dome. Everyone seemed to think it went well. Made me smile. :-)

Great videos, both of them, Daisy.. Those kids are all so talented. Sounds like you all had a wonderful Open House at the library.

Thanks for sharing. I know you are proud of your son --and his gal.

That was cool! Every time I hear a little Christmas music it threatens to put me in the Christmas mood but then I get ahold of myself and squelch it. ha!

I haven't even begun to shop.

Jen said...

Falalalala! I have no music ability. So glad to see the young kids doing this.

Daisy said...

Thanks, Jackie! Yes, it did that to me too! :)

Here, Betty (passing Betty a box of tissues), join the crowd! :D

Betsy, yes, my son's girlfriend is in this group too. She's the one in front on the far left playing violin. :D

Sandy, I have only done a very little bit of shopping. I need to get on it this weekend for sure!! :D

You're good at decking the halls, though, Jen! :-)
