concert in Los Gatos / staying in Santa Cruz, CA

It was again a nice ride through "Silikon Valley" to Los Gatos. Everything is very green here at this time of the year - and lots of palm trees everywhere...
The concert in Los Gatos was great! We even had somebody dancing to our last piece "Misirlou". The concert was in the afternoon, so we drove to Santa Cruz to stay in a hotel right next to the beach.
We had some fun at the many attractions that are on the famous "Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk" and just  enjoyed being at the beach.

on the road from Elko, Nevada to San Francisco - concert in San Francisco

It was an endless ride from Elko to San Francisco. We went over the mountains and when we got down we suddenly had 28 Celcius! :-)
That was a nice surprise and it was a perfect timing. The weather was great in San Francisco and we had 3 beautiful days in this intersting city. When we arrived the city was full of green people (St. Patrick's day) and a lot of partys were going on.
Our concert at Amnesia Cafe was really something special. The audience was standing and they were a really great audience! San Francisco has a lot of live music in lots of bars and clubs and the city is very alive. It was a great experience for us and we hope to come back one day. Cellists are very welcome in SF.
We did some sightseeing, had good food and just enjoyed this wonderful city.

When we arrived in Turlock, CA today we got the scores from the new composition that Lalo Schifrin wrote for quattrocelli. We will rehearse it during the tour and meet him in Los Angeles on March 26 to work together with him on the piece. We are very much looking forward to that!

on the road from Salt Lake City to Nevada - concert in Elko, Nevada

The drive from Sakt lake City to Nevada was: driving straight on for hours! No curves and around the Highway it looked like a desert. When we finally arrived in Nevada the first thing we saw were a lot of casinos.
The concert was a lot of fun and the audience was great. Tomorrow we will drive to San Francisco, where we will stay for 3 nights.

on the road - from Cody to Lander, Wyoming

Here we have some pictures from our nice drive from Cody to Lander, WY.
Wyoming is almost as big as Germany and has 500.000 inhabitants.
No wonder we never see anybody on the road...
But you can see the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains. Unfortunately Yellowstone National Park was closed.
