Uxbridge Spring Fling Concert

We were in Uxbridge on Saturday for a violin concert, held by the violin teachers that have been friends since childhood.   This violin and cello get together has been going on for 16+ years and flips between Uxbridge and Ottawa.

Most of Kieran's violin concerts have been in churches.  And it probably has much to do with the acoustics.  The music was so vibrant in the church.  You can clearly hear from anywhere.

We brought the seniors to enjoy the concert music and have a chance to watch their grandson perform for them.

It was a nice crisp spring day.  We even drove by Annina's cafe and bakery in Goodwood that I had visited on a club ride last summer.  It was basically minutes from Uxbridge.  I didn't realize how far away that place was.  It's an hour by car from our house.  And that's taking the highway.

Unfortunately it closes at 6pm on Sat so I couldn't take Tresa and Kieran there for baked goods.  But the pot luck spread was FAN-tastic!  I was set to do Paris-Ancaster race on Sunday so this food was sent by God for me.  It was just what I needed to prep for the 70km gravel road/off road, farmers fields, whatever.  Thank you.

Kieran isn't in this video, but I hadn't heard this Canon in D in a long time and it sounds great. Glad Tresa recorded it. This piece was originally composed for violins by Johann Palchelbel in the late 1600s according to Wikipedia.




He is in this one. This piece is called the Two Grenadiers.




And this one is so cool. It's called a tabletop duet by W.A.Mozart Basically it a single sheet of music and it's put on a table so that each violinist will play the same notes but from their vantage point across the table.
