## Notes

Third chamber music show in a week: funny how things line up like that sometimes. And each one, **completely** different from the others. Labro is a real virtuoso (as are the members of Takács!), and it was a treat to hear him in this context. I enjoyed this program the best of the three: everything about it was just great!

## Photos

Today's photo comes from ol' squinty -- he tried to take a few cell phone pics during the show, but failed -- not realizing that he didn't hit the shutter button. And when did he figure that out? Not until after the show, when he paused to take a sloppy picture of the full moon. What a maroon!
