Wow, two of five days done already?! It has been so great to bask in the positive, collective, energizing viola-energy! Looking forward to three more days of this!!
I hope everyone reading this (all one…perhaps two…of you?) has had a chance to visit the exhibitors’ displays in Room 120 (off of the ESM Main Hall) and upstairs in Cominsky Promenade. The sheer variety of instruments, bows, chinrests, tailpieces, sheet music, and more is astounding!!! Very few other places and events offer a selection so catered to VIOLA-kind.
