The Escher Quartet concert at the Music Barn on Oct. 18 was a resounding success. The musicians stated that this was their first live performance during the pandemic and it felt so good to play for people and see real-time reaction and appreciation. They had just returned from a live-stream event in Massachusetts on Saturday night and the contrast between live-stream and live audience was enormous. The Beethoven and Debussy string quartets brought us back to the sublime experiences we have all been missing.
We had an audience of about 145, including MaBH regulars, Music Barn regulars, and some first-timers. With all of the masks, it was a little hard to recognize our patrons. There was plenty of room to spread out and the weather was exactly right for the concert.
Music Barn owner Jake Heil and his team made the event a pleasure for us all. Sound tech Tanner Freeman found just the right balance to amplify the quartet beyond the covered pavilion. Subscriber and volunteer Mary Tortorici assisted in checking in patrons at ticket table.

Stay tuned for more outdoor events in the spring and summer.
