I am pleased to report that one year in the Paradise of Sarasota FL is almost gone and most of the time I was busy with settling a new nest.

However, I was fortunate to become a collaborative pianist for Alejandro’s Mendoza (a professor of Manhattan Music school) violin class. This school year his students were competing for Sarasota Orchestra competition, Music scholarship of Sarasota Music Club; They played several community's and class’ concerts . Hours of rehearsals have been done, his students did very well. The list of masterpieces, including M. Bruch’s Concerto and Violin concerto by A. Khachaturian, have been performed. I was proud to be a part of this activity. Working with students is a most rewarding experience.

As a final chord for this season, Violin Class of Alejandro Mendoza will have a concert May 28th at 10.30am at Pritchards Pianos, 2108 Bee Ridge Rd, Sarasota, FL 34239. Welcome and I look forward to seeing you there.
