Bonjou!
Last night we had the first recital of the camp, in the church. Recitals are events in which teachers will play for the camp body, as well as students who have gotten permission from a teacher. Ms. Matta played two pieces!! The first was with a college-student teacher here at the camp, a saxophone duet, and she also played a solo piece. Both were fantastic, but as a bonus in the second piece, the power went out mid-performance! Ms. Matta continued flawlessly, of course, by flashlight. I believe there should be video coming of the entire recital, so you can here Ms. Matta and all of the other teacher performances.
A plan is in the works for us to play in the next recital on Saturday. We may play a distinctly American piece ("Give My Regards to Broadway"?) by ourselves, plus another possibly Haitian piece that we would play with some of the students here. I'm hoping that there will be a way to record this as well. Stay tuned!

It sounds like this concert was a fantastic experience. Can't wait to see the video. Also hope to see a video of the Haitian Four from the Saturday night concert. Not surprised that Liz was cool under pressure--just what we would expect from an experienced pro!
