Storm Mountain Wedding

On 6/18 we played for a ceremory at the Storm Mountain picnic site in Big Cottonwood Canyon. I always love playing outdoors. The setting was beautiful and the ceremony was sweet. Brittany subbed for Thalia and since she and Meili are both pregnant we couldn't resist taking this cute picture.

Kayli & Ivan

On Saturday, we played for the ceremony and reception of Kayli & Ivan at Legacy Park in Syracuse. It was a scorcher!

You may have noticed the array of cellists we've had in our pictures lately. (Tony is represented here as a shadow.) Since Thalia is spending the summer in Alaska, we've had the opportunity to call on our other cellist friends to step in and play with us. Thanks Sam, Brittany, & Tony!

Melissa & Beau

On Thursday, we played at the beautiful Fragrance Garden at Red Butte for Melissa & Beau's ceremony. We sat near a honeysuckle plant, which smelled so sweet! Even though the temperatures that day were in the 90s, the gardens were pleasant and breezy.

Thanks for playing with us Brit!

Where The Wild Things Are

Cathy and I were recently invited to play with another string quartet in a school district art show at Hogle Zoo! We played in the monkey house. It was after hours, so we didn't have a chance to explore the rest of the zoo, but we had a lot of fun! (l-r: Maureen, Meili, Cathy)

Brian & YuLin

We played for the wedding of Brian and YuLin yesterday. Their ceremony was held in the historic Memorial House at Memory Grove on a clear, blue day. I am always so honored to be a part of a couple's wedding. Even though I don't know the bride and groom, seeing them so happy together always makes me smile.

Ward Valentine's Dinner

On February 16th we played for a ward dinner. They fed us dinner and even let us bring our husbands who we rarely get to play for! Ashlee substituted for Meili. The ward was so kind. Many of them came up to meet us and compliment our playing. Joyce, the woman in charge of the event sent us this sweet email:

To Cathy, Meili, Michelle, and Thalia;
Thanks again for the beautiful music and mood you set for our ward dinner. It was exactly what I wanted for the evening. Your willingness to share your talents with us was so appreciated by all.
