So, after a long week of driving to rehearsals in Denver...success! The first concert of the Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado happened last night at St. Paul's in Denver. If we ignore the fact that the church is under construction and has no heat (and bathrooms involve a spooky trek through the innards of a dark basement replete with hanging wires and chunks of rough drywall) it was a pleasant place to play. The best part was the review posted in the Rocky Mountain News and Denver Post--find it here:

BCOC Review 9/22/06

It's been great to have Debra Nagy out with us this for this concert--finally, I got to sit back and listen to Bach's 2nd Orchestral Suite (arranged for oboe and orch.) rather than stress about playing it myself! And having Tekla play the Telemann Concerto on a real viola d'amore rather than the oft-substituted violin was a real treat.
