we have new ears

I am just returning to my desk after the whirlwind of the ITG Conference. But, there is no time to waste... look what just came in the mail today: 

Tickets to see Harrelson Client John Whaley performing with the Portland Cello Project in Minneapolis at The Cedar Cultural Center! Saturday, June 29th! Tickets are still available here: http://www.thecedar.org/events/2013/06/29/portland-cello-project

The above photograph was taken by an 11 year old I met on the trip to the conference this week... I wrote a short blog about him here: http://www.jenniferdsandquist.com/1/post/2013/06/imagination-is-silly.html I will be posting a full blog with my take on the ITG in the coming week. 

Our eyes are now turned to the Satchmo Summerfest Festival ... happening the first weekend in August in New  Orleans... we are very excited to be donating another custom trumpet for auction this year... Watch for more information and photographs coming on that soon.
Here is a little more information about the festival: http://www.fqfi.org/satchmosummerfest/ August 1-4... It is one of the most amazing things I have ever had the opportunity to be a part of. If you are a trumpet player or a Louis Armstrong enthusiast... or if you just love great music and great food... then I would encourage you to go. The festival is FREE. And features some amazing local artists... in my favorite city.
