A much needed two-week vacation

By Peter Alexander Aug. 19 at 11:20 a.m.

This has been a busy summer.

I don’t know how it was at your house, but for me, the combination of family events, summer performances to play and attend, and the unexpected home repairs to attend to has filled my days.

Filled to overflowing in fact.

So I am going to take a couple of weeks off to take care of all the unfinished business staring me in the face and maybe get some rest. And see some opera streams I’ve been wanting to see, some British mysteries, maybe even go to a movie! Such luxury.

I apologize for the early-season events I will miss—the Takács Quartet has already started their 2024–25 season—but I will be back in September. And isn’t that when fall events should start, anyway?

So enjoy your dog days, think of me lying on the couch (not the beach, sadly) happily sipping beverages, and I’ll see you again in September!
