Chatting after the concert
|
On June 14th TCCP opened the third season of Concerts on
the Creek in Cambridge, Nebraska. Mother Nature conjured up an idyllic
evening for the sold-out event. Dick Barnes, owner and chef of
Town Talk Restaurant in Cambridge, prepared a Greek buffet of
scrumptious foods. Folks arrived early to enjoy a beverage overlooking
the verdant Republican River Valley before the buffet. Record rainfalls
in spring created a very green canvas.
After
dinner TCCP opened with Beethoven's "Duo with
Two Eyeglasses Obbligato" for viola and cello,
followed by a Mahler quartet; dessert prepared by Gloria
Hilton, proprietress of the Cambridge Bed and Breakfast; then more music by CPE
Bach and Mozart.
Guests
lingered after the performance to chat with the musicians and enjoy
the evening air and spectacular sunset.
On
August 2nd guitarist Rusty Banks, vibraphone artist Joe Holmquist, and
flutist Becky Van de Bogart played a program that covered the gamut
from Baroque to Appalachian folk music. Matt Sehnert presented the
evening's cuisine, served indoors due to the 100°+ temperatures, to
rave reviews. Another sold-out house enjoyed the evening.
A
few of our patrons shared their thoughts about the evening:
"Excellent
concerts in a wonderful setting." JG, Gothenburg
"Your
music is always refreshing and enjoyable, thanks so much for all your
efforts." SH, Cambridge
"What
a treat the whole event was" AM, Holdrege
"I
feel like a changed person and more open to new ideas and feeling
positively about rural living and feeling quiet while listening to
COTC. The feeling lasts at least a week or two. Thank you for your
generous gift to us." BS, Holdrege
