The snow on the foliage along I-79 looked like cottonballs as I drove up to North East for the latest in their Second Sunday concerts.
The "concert" was more like eavesdropping on friends who were playing thru their favorite music than a formal concert. Their choices were wonderful and fun in a classical music sort of way. At least for me all but one were familiar favorites from various combinations of instruments and voices played simply (well, the music wasn't all simple to play) on horn and piano. I'd like to hear more of the Faith piece.
Chelsea Nelson was the featured performer accompanied by Carol Carlson. Chelsea is from North East and is in her first year at Eastman. She is excellent.
Brahms: Scherzo from Serenade in D, Opus 11
Rachmaninoff: Vocalise
Mozart: Concerto #3 in E-Flat, K. 447
Richard Faith (b 1926): Movements for Horn and Piano
Schumann: Widmung
Schumann: Im wunderschönen Monat Mai
Purcell: "I attempt from Love's sickness"
F. Strauss: Nocturno #7
Beethoven: Scherzo (Allegro molto e vivaci) from Septet in Eb
I heartily recommend these concerts at The Episcopal Church of the Holy Cross in North East, PA.

I miss snow. All we've had was a 5-minute dusting one afternoon. I like that photo and wish I could have been at that concert.
We haven't had any serious snow this winter. This last one was dangerous because rain froze on the roads as the snow started. Most of it will disappear before the next batch comes Wednesday. I much prefer winters like last year when the snow came and stayed.
The concerts sound wonderful.
