A Cello
Event "From Soup to Nuts I" |
Enjoy APhoto Essay
of a Cello Event
during
"The Great Blizzard of 2005" |
|
The highly touted Cello Event "From Soup to Nuts"
went forward as planned on January 23 in spite of
the 12-inch New York snowfall that paralyzed
suburban traffic and train service.
Well over one hundred hardy and enthusiastic
Manhattanites and a sprinkling of indomitable music
lovers from the outskirts trudged
to the Leonard
Thalia Theater to experience an event that brought
a new format to classical music programming.
Combining imaginary interviews, topical comedy,
accents and props, concert cellist Harry Wimmer
brought many new dimensions to a substantial
classical music presentation.
