| It's not Carnegie Hall, but...:) |
Olympe is a wonderful pianist. She just graduated from high school in France, and has been accepted into a music conservatory in Lille. She plays like a dream. We thought it would be neat for her to give a recital, and Nana's place has a built-in audience. Olympe was disappointed that the audience was small, but it would have been hard to get a bigger crowd during the summer months with very little notice and no publicity. Plus, the old folks at Nana's place were very appreciative. We all could have listened to Olympe play all day.
She played some Tchaikovsky, Chopin and some pieces she arranged herself. It was truly lovely. The electronic piano wasn't a Steinway, but it wasn't the worst, either. Olympe made it sound incredible. We were all grateful to have the opportunity to listen to her play. Next time, we'll have to plan for a bigger show, because everyone would love Olympe!
Our little (big) family was about to get a bit smaller. This was a farewell dinner, I think, for Olympe. Boo hoo!
