Winter Recital Day 2019

Saturday was our Kotrba Piano Studio Winter Recital Day. It's one of my favorite days of the year. Yes, it's a lot of preparation, I have to thank my husband Bill and Mary for all their help to get the house and studio ready. And I'd like to thank Lorie and Isabella for staying after the first recital to help turn the reception around for the second recital. To me, it's all worth it.

These kids. . . they worked so hard on their classical selection and their holiday piece. My heart is just so full, they played with musicality and poise, many of them used the pedal for the first time and added a lot of rubato to their pieces. Duets and duets with parents are always a highlight and I got to accompany Mary on clarinet.

Congratulations to everyone!

I have so much more on my mind to write, but life with one less kid in the house and no choir is actually a little more sane this year and if you are a mom or dad who is pulling the Christmas train through the midnight hours, please feel free to read some of these blogs from when my kids were littler. I was there too.

Calvin comes home Friday, with my mom. The Christmas train has left the station. I put the Peanuts Christmas sheets on his bed. I'm making the Christmas food. I'm wrapping a few less toys now-a-days but there will still be gifts from me and Santa.

Here are links to the recitals, they are unlisted, you can only get to them with these links. Enjoy listening while you wrap presents and bake your cookies and may you have a blessed Christmas.
