Staff summer plans

Sebastian: Minna and I are spending family time in Ithaca featuring Juna Maya, with the extra support of extended family. Perhaps some klezmer tunes while there?

Sara: I'm making my annual roadtrip out west, this time to check out Mom's new pool. Isa (and Sara) will learn how to swim.

Jori: I'm just back from a wedding in New Orleans, heading to Vermont to work with a group of 70 artists creating a DIY production of Less Miserable, resulting in a performance at The Steel Yard on Monday, July 2. Then on to documenting the Institute for Art Teachers at RISD for one week.

Jesse: I will be coaching at the RI Philharmonic Youth Orchestra camp followed by a trip to Ireland including some Ferdinand the Bull performances with Ealain. Back in the States, there will be a mixture of Apple Hill, golf, meditation, and time with the Lord Nelson and Count Chocula.

Adrienne: I'll be practicing a lot while spending two months at Indiana University, including weekly lessons with Janos Starker in his house. Meanwhile, I'm preparing for the start of the String Orchestra Project at CMW and moving to Providence.

Ariana: I am teaching at the Boston University Tanglewood Institute and living in a rental house on a lake, as well as improving my marathon time by running all the hills in the Berkshires.

Robin: I'll be relaxing in Providence.

Liz: I'll be taking a few short trips amidst trying to keep rabbits and squirrels from digging up the things we're planting in our raised beds.

Ealain: I am attending the Saint Lawrence String Quartet chamber music seminar next week, celebrating July 4th by flying to Ireland to see my family, and returning to the States for a session at Apple Hill.

Emmy: I'll spend some time on the family farm, play some barn dances, teach some Swedish fiddling lessons, and visit Wisconsin to teach at the Birch Creek Music Performance Center. Then more time on the farm, a couple weeks in Brazil, and a trip to Maine for Grandma's 90th birthday party!

Chloe: Spackling, painting, siding, roofing, electrical work… getting our new house ready to host the CMW staff for a day during August planning week, including a barbecue.

Heath: Jesse and I will perform Honneger's Sonatine for violin and cello on Sunday, and then I'm looking forward to two weeks with my inlaws (Ithaca in July, Maine in August) and at least one day trip to Tanglewood.
