Venue: Lakewood Cultural Center
Ensemble: Lakewood Symphony Orchestra

Bach— Double Violin Concerto

I love performing in front of orchestras. It is probably, my favorite type of performance. When I am standing up, in my beautiful gown, in front of a full orchestra, I feel so empowered. I love letting my sound fill the concert hall, floating above everyone else. This is a rare opportunity that I feel very blessed to have be apart of!

Bridal Show

October 2
Event:a Bridal "Trunk" show
Venue: Blue Bridal Couture in the Pavilion downtown
Ensemble: Menea String Quartet

Our intention was to advertise to brides, with the hope that they would hire us to play at their weddings. Unfortunately there was only a
few brides at the bridal show while we were there. We played typical precessional music for 2 hours and left the store with some fliers for our group. It was fun!

Favorite Part: I loved seeing all of the
beautiful gowns and the excited brides.

...and I thought playing weddings made me want to get married....

Korean Wedding



September 10-Three Trees Chapel in Littleton.
Ensemble: String quartet with addition of piano

This was a very different, interesting experience! The chapel was a beautiful, quaint chapel designed for weddings. The whole ceremony was in Korean. It was a little difficult to keep track of where in the ceremony we were in. However, it was really fun to see the different culture. One of the cool things was that the audience applauded as the bride came down the isle. The mothers also had beautiful traditional dresses on.

My favorite part: There were no bridesmaids or groomsmen. There were two boys (under the age of 7) and two little girls. They were so well behaved and SO cute!!
