tuba weekend


As many of you know I play tuba and enjoy doing it very much. Well, this past weekend was simply fantastic with regards to music and performing. I was fortunate enough to perform every day of the weekend! On Friday I had the Christmas concert with Eastern's wind ensemble. Then Saturday was great day full of art. To begin with, I spent my morning at the Kimmel Center rehearsing for the Tuba Christmas concert we played at noon there. Oh what an amazing experience it was to perform a concert with 70 different kinds of tubas! Then we went to the Annenberg center to watch London's Globe Theater company perform Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure." This group is the premere Sakespeare performing company in the world. My wonderful weekend concluded with me performing a mozart aria for my church family at Calvary. I had a fantastic weekend and was very glad that it concluded with my sharing one of the things I enjoy doing the most with my Calvary family. I am really looking forward to sharing much more with you all as we begin spending time together outside of church in small groups and just socially.
Just one more thing, thank you all who have hosted the meet Pastor Doug groups! Dot, Susan, Wilma, VanBroekhovens, it's been great! I'm still waiting for the rest. Remember, all you need to do is be gracious enough to offer your home. I'll take care of what we will do during that time. God bless.

Doug,
I thought of you on Thursday night, I was at a brass band competition with the sister in my family and the guys were there with their tubas and were dancing the mambo with them, thought you would have enjoyed it. Glad you got time to do what you love!!
Lots of love,
Emma
