On July 21, 2012, Blaine took us to Jackson Hole, Wyoming to the ski resort there, where they hold the Grand Teton Music Festival. Elizabeth and Derek in front of the Tram.
Here, the symphony is on their break, but it was a full symphony with Violin 1, Violin II, Viola, Cello, Bass, Flute, Piccolo, Oboe, English Horn, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, and others. We loved the ton of violins. They performed three long songs: Noon Witch, which was to paint a picture in our minds of a young boy and his mother, in the kitchen. The mom teases that if the mischievous boy does not stop, "The Witch" will come and get him. In the end, the Father comes home, and finds the Mom curled around her dead boy, in a corner. That was by Dvorak. Then there was Veni, vein, Emmanuel by MacMillan and last was Symphony No. 5 in B flat Major by Prokofiev.
Blaine's friend at the hosital, John Dobbins, offered the tickets to Blaine a couple of days before the concert. This photo is dark, but it shows us, without our Heather, outside the Concert Hall. Blaine is always good about doing the cultural things I love to do.
