Bengal's Corner

Hello, everyone!

If I was at the beach, this could be the perfect gift for the perfect birthday... of course, with a special company... But I'm at the lab and what makes this day special is the very kind emails and sweet cards you all sent me. Thank you!



And since this day couldn't be without music, I thank Chawa very much for the tickets for tonight's Mendelssohn's Third @ Laura Turner Concert Hall:

David Lockington, conductor
Mark O'Connor, violin
Maya Beiser, cello

Adolphus Hailstork - Symphony No. 3, 2nd and 3rd Movements
Mark O'Connor - For the Heroes
Mendelssohn - Symphony No. 3 "Scottish"

The last symphony ever completed by Mendelssohn, his Symphony No. 3 "Scottish" overflows with energy, ebullience, drama and invention. Dedicated to Queen Victoria, the piece conveys Mendelssohn's impressions of the Scottish landscapes while Mark O'Connor's work evokes the landscapes of the Appalachian Mountains.

If you are curious about the event, check the program notes.

Bengal,
celebrating!
