Summer Music Festivals!

On our first day (July 28) in the Laurentians, my brother found a concert with the Gryphon Trio.  We went up to Mont Tremblant village and listened to the trio peform Mozart, Debussy and Ravel.  Afterwards, Alexandre Da Costa signed his latest CD for us.  James Parker and Alexandre Da Costa also took a photo with my two kids.  A nice concert from Festival Classiques des Hautes-Laurentides.

On August 8, we went to Stratford Summer Music to listen to 17 year old Jan Lisiecki.  He also gave us a photo op and signed our CDs for us!  He played a selection of Chopin Preludes and the Beethoven 3rd Piano Concerto with a string quintet (Annex String Quartet).  A very nice young man indeed.  He has grown musically and technically since I heard him in Saskatoon (fall 2011).
