I was so excited on my recent trip to the Northwest to go downtown in Seattle to the Benaroya Hall to see my 15-year-old nephew play the cello. What an amazing space, and a wonderful concert by the Academy of Music NW Chamber Orchestra. Also impressive were the two massive blown-glass chandeliers blazing in each corner window, by Seattle artist Dale Chihuly.
A proud auntie, that's me, and not afraid to say it. Proud of my nephew, of course, and proud of my sister and brother-in-law for raising an incredible musician who has an undeniable passion for the cello.
