Open for holidays!

Our first trip in another continent since the pandemic, spreading the word of Violoncello da Spalla!

One thing I love is matching a work trip with a short holiday. I love meeting like-minded people, and when you are around for work-related events, you have experiences that you hardly do when just a tourist.

So, after the delusion two weeks ago, when we couldn’t start our trip because we were found positive to covid, we made a last-minute plan, and we went to Alexandria, VA, to Brobst violin shop, where the Celebrating Women Luthiers exhibition is now hosted. We are currently in New York City for a week of holiday.

I don’t have a proper newsletter this week, and I hope you don’t mind me sharing with you the highlights of our trip.

Spreading the word of Violoncello da Spalla at Brobst violin shop!

With fellow luthiers Sofia Vettori and Itzel Avila at Brobst violin shop, playing with Carol Brobst, sightseeing in Washington DC, and receiving a certificate of excellence issued by Sofia Vettori for the varnish of my Violoncello da Spalla!

Sightseeing in Washington and Philadelphia

Sightseeing in New York City and Night at the Met Opera for Strauss’ Elektra!

Exhibit on Woody Guthrie at the Morgan Library. I didn’t know he could draw so well, on top of all the rest that he was!

Art and nature, Central Park and the Guggenheim museum.

Art and history. Palestrina, Missa Papae Marcelli, Picasso, Van Gogh, Memling.

That’s it for this week, tomorrow Met Museum, and on Sunday we’ll be traveling home. Thanks for following us!
