The beginning of summer saw much traveling and performing from me.

Performances for statewide conventions for the National Federation of Music Clubs took me to Grand Rapids, MI and to the charming town of New Bern, NC, while NFMC's national convention took place in Tulsa, OK.

Wedged in between these was an inspirational week of teaching and performing with friends at the Taneycomo Festival Orchestra (Branson, MO), where I gave two masterclasses and performed the Grieg Concerto.

Larkin Sanders, CEO of the Taneycomo Festival Orchestra, is doing great work for that two-week event. It is always a pleasure to play for the Branson public; they are so warm and appreciative!
