WE HAVE MERCHANDISE!
One of our violists, Karen Mamel, creates beautiful instrument covers for violins and violas. She marbelizes the silk by hand, then sews it to fit either violin or viola.
These covers are available to buy at Violin Shop Tampa (both Tampa and Sarasota locations), and 20% of the sales will be donated to Tampa Bay Symphony. Check it out!
A few of us surprised our former Tampa Bay Symphony principal violist, Marie Milne yesterday afternoon at her retirement home.
Marie retired a number of years ago and I think she is somewhere between 95 and 99 years old!
We’ve been friends for many years. It was wonderful to play for her and the residents of her Assisted Living Everyone wore masks but you could feel the smiles!
This event was postponed 2 times so we were finally able to play!!
With Barbara Verduin VanPatten, Judy Rowland, Kathryn Rodriguez Mihalyo, Maribeth Radtke, Gilbert Marcy, and Ruth Kern.
More photos from Sunday's concert by our good friend Jeff Wells, who writes, "What a spectacular concert, the power outage and hearing Stauss’ 2nd movement 1 ½ times was great! "
