Spring brings good news

It's Spring here in the South of the North. The snow has essentially melted except for areas that don't get much sun. The rivers are flooding their banks and the waterfalls are incredibly powerful.


Almost all the ice has floated down the river and out to sea and the lakes will soon be clear.


And our good news? Erik received tenure as principal bass in Kristansand Symfoni Orkester on April 12th, six months to the day after he began his trial period. On the same day, we officially added another couple to our musical family - John and Amanda Harrison. They come from South Carolina and New Jersey respectively and were most recently living in New Zealand. John just passed his preliminary trial and will be on trial as a member of the bass section next season. We hope to hear Amanda playing her horn as well one day soon. He likes to fish and she enjoys knitting. I think it's meant to be.
