Rehearsing Dvorak

Too bad that this evening’s Providence String Quartet performance and fixed price dinner event at Al Forno was postponed (until Fall ’06). Maybe the silver lining is that, since Jesse’s Sunday evening flight back from the American String Teachers Association conference in Kansas City was canceled and he was forced to sleep in a Chicago airport lounge last night, he’ll be well rested by the time the three performances at the end of the week come around.

With the free evening, the Providence Quartet was able to work in some extra rehearsal time on the Dvorak Quintet with visiting double bassist extraordinaire Max Zeugner.  Of course, additional rehearsal time also necessitates pizza and other diversions in the office…

(Sicilia’s Pizzeria on Federal Hill is not quite Al Forno, but it’s still pretty excellent pizza in its own right.)
