Back in Business

We have returned finally from Venice (where we stayed in friend's fantastic apartment on the grand canal...it is a tough life isn't it?) where a series of concerts went well and we even had time to escape to Udina to meet with Emma Kirkby and the fantastic Concerto Pallatino. It was a great trip, great to speak Italian in which I am far more comfortable than in Spanish, and great to be back with friends. Now it is really time to hit D+J hard and at the same time I am completing the last grants for next season.
