The Concerts in Fargo were awesome!
Worked with Kelly Corcoran, a guest conductor auditioning for the permanent spot with the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony. We had two concerts (a Saturday night and Sunday afternoon) which were packed and crazily well-received. Congrats, Kelly! :D We played the Rachmaninoff Paganini Variations and it was just great.

In Fargo, got to meet up with Anthony, an old friend from Centralia! |
The next morning it was up at 4am to catch a flight to San Francisco, where I had a concert Monday night. I rented a car and drove a couple hours to Davis, took a quick nap, had a concert, and got to bed at about 11pm.
After 3 hours of glorious sleep, I woke up at 2:30am and drove the couple hours BACK to SFO and then caught a flight to Seattle.

Pretty bridge at like 3:30am |
Monday morning I was back up at an ungodly hour to catch a 7am flight back to NYC where I was for a few days before catching a flight down to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina to play a third and different concerto (Grieg) with the Hilton Head Symphony with John Russell Morris…another fantastic conductor.
Overall it was a whirlwind of craziness, very wearing, but at the same time fantastic and awesome.
