Cambridge write-up

I finally posted the Cambridge write-up. The performance was back in June, a full eight months and nineteen concerts ago. I’d misplaced some of the photos I was planning to use, and by the time I found them the concert was already long past and there no longer seemed any particular urgency about putting it online. I do feel a great sense of relief now, though.

It’s a picturesque write-up because the concert was in the Bryan Memorial Gallery—our first art gallery concert—and I included several gorgeous paintings from the exhibits.

The building is charming, with a clerestory that brings in lots of light. It falls indirectly on most of the gallery, but it was right above the piano. I didn’t say anything about this in the write-up, but it was warm and sometimes blinding! Immediately after I posted the video clips, someone commented “you look like you needed sunglasses”.

Also didn’t make the write-up: A bunch of us went looking for dinner afterwards and found Moog’s Joint in neighboring Johnson. The name is fairly unusual, and the place features live music, so I had to ask owner Tom Moog if he was any relation to Robert, inventor of the compact modular synthesizer (mentioned in this post). 

He’s not. Nice place though.
