Here is the "hot ticket" for tonight--



I took Mom and Kate to see Caroline at Barnes and Noble yesterday- she was there for the "coffee with the conductor" program. It was a packed house and we enjoyed the Q&A with her (her violin was made in 1617, and she is one of the chosen few that gets to play one of these Stradivari Society violins!) and she played several selections including a few from tonight's Mendelssohn. If you can get to this concert tonight, you will never forget it!

After the program, Watercourse Way made sure that Kate met Caroline and got her autograph, and we added the conductor's autograph- thanks Demetrius Fuller for signing in crayon.:wave:

Mendelssohn's Birthday Bash​
Celebrating 200 years of Mendelssohn​

Grace Lutheran Church, Destin​
Caroline Goulding, violin​
Now 16, Ms. Goulding mesmerized the crowd in last season’s exhilarating and heart-wrenching performance of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto will be book-ended by Prokofiev’s, “Symphony no. 1 “Classical” and the rhythmically invigorating “Symphony no. 4 “Italian” by Mendelssohn. Stick around for birthday cake after the performance—Mendelssohn still sounds great 200 years later.​

Wow - what an amazing young lady and musician. I just read her biography on her webpage. She is destined to go places well beyond what most adult musicians aspire. It is rare that someone as young as 13 begins studying with the renown Paul Kantnor at CIM. And to attend the Aspen Music Festival is unheard of at her age let alone winning the concerto competition! Amazing. Aspen is typically for the most advanced master students and adults.

This is a kid who practices, practices, practices & obviously loves every minute of it!

Take good care of that autograph - it will be worth something in a few years! (frame it) :clap:

She is amazing to watch & listen to, and just an all-around wonderful kid. Tonight will be a very special concert... Tickets are still available at the door, $37.50 for main floor and $25 for limited-view balcony. The concert is filmed and broadcast on a screen above the stage for those who choose limited view seats.

The concert is at 7:30 at Grace Lutheran Church in Destin (just west of Home Depot & the YMCA); I recommend arriving at least 15 minutes early for parking, etc. I'll be working the box office, make sure you say "hi" if you come! :D
