Last weekend, right about now, the quartet was finishing up our first concert (in White Salmon, Washington) at the new Gorge Music Festival. We had a great time. First of all, we had the privilege of getting to know the wonderful pair of pianists Ron Potts and Karen Eddleman, as we rehearsed and stayed in their lovely Mosier, Oregon home above the Columbia River Gorge.
It’s always an adventure, collaborating with a new musician, especially one whom you don’t know at all before the music-making begins. But we were in good hands with Karen, who is full of energy, a wonderfully musical player, and has a great sense of humor, which is essential for all of us fun-lovers in the quartet!
We look forward to future collaborations, and enjoyed our time in the gorge very much – we can’t wait for next year!
In the meantime, this brand new festival will continue with two further weekends of concerts – August 4th and 5th will present Karen Eddleman and Ron Potts in two concerts of duo piano repertoire. The following weekend (August 12th and 13th) the festival presents the group Al Andalus, which will perform contemporary flamenco dance with live vocal and instrumental music.
