Well our favorite conductor Marin Alsop led an open rehearsal. We walked to the tent through the 'beautiful people' historic neighborhood. Great victorian homes that are rebuilt in the 21st century opulent style. Beautiful gardens in most every home.
Learned about the Christopher Rouse Friandises, Prokofiev's 2nd Violin Concerto and Brahm's 3rd. We enjoyed it much more than the evening concert where we sat on the lawn and had our wine and cheese. The orchestra seemed to play much better in the morning.
In between we hit Hunter's Creek trail again and made it to the top. Great views of Mt Aspen. On the way back we stopped at the Aspen Brewery for a sampler of the root beer, summer wheat, IPA, and Brown ale. All very tasty.
After the concert we took Hannah to Social. She says the cafeteria food is bad so Lisa is making sure she gets her share of top notch Aspen cuisine. Actually it was very nice: Had the Salmon Beniets, Snapper Fish Tacos, Endame Beans with spicy sauce, and risotto with american caviar.
Took Hannah back to her dorm and had a quick look at the stars. It is nice to get out of the city once in a while....
