Afternoon with the Sinfonietta

Today we enjoyed a concert by the Verde Valley Sinfonietta, presented in Sedona.

One of the highlights was the performance of 15 year old piano soloist Anna Han, with her rendition of the Piano Concerto in A minor, Opus 54, by Robert Schumann. Also impressive was the Symphony No.8 in F Major, opus 93, by Ludwig van Beethoven.
You can listen to Anna Han from the NPR program in 2008 (4min to 11 min)

Easter

We spent Easter Sunday with Glen and family. First we had a nice Sunday brunch at the IHOP in Gilbert, AZ
Then it was egg coloring time, followed by a visit from the "Easter Bunny". Alexis and Luca were all excited about finding all the eggs. Trip the dog managed to devour some before that.

Sonoran Desert Museum

We took Alexis and Luca to the Desert Museum near Tucson, Arizona. It was a nice sunny and not too hot day.

Another year...
