Charlotte and Aria's Music Recital

We had our first in person recital in three years!! Due to the pandemic, it was outdoors. Aria played Witches Dance by Paganini and Charlotte played the Bach Bourrees. They've both been working hard on music during quarantine. Ariadne took a fiddle class and learned note reading. Charlotte joined a cello rock group and had her first year-long orchestra experience with California Youth Symphony.  I may post more about those later, but here's the recital!

Cousins! We had several family members able to attend. Here are the girls with their cousin. 

And for posterity, this is what our outdoor recital looked like to anyone walking by, late pandemic, 2021. Most if not all of the 16 year olds to adults are vaccinated, some of the 12-15 year olds have had a chance to get their first shot. Outdoor and social distancing are still key to any get together. The governor had lifted the mask mandate the week before.
