Heidi's concert in Berkeley

I attended Heidi's concert, this Saturday night in Berekeley. It's held as part of the Trinity Chamber Music Series, and was set in a small, intimate church (that could seat maybe 50 people).

She would first explain the piece, the composer, the context, the mood for about a couple of minutes, then play the piece.

Here's the program:

• Piano Sonata No. 32 - Haydn
• Prelude, Chorale and Fugue - Franck
• Arabesques on Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz - Schulz Evler
• 12 Preludes Book 2 - Debussy

I particularly like her piece on Franck's Prelude, Chorale, Fugue, which was a very intimate and sensitive portrayal of his spiritual journey. There's a part in the piece, which I think was the chorale, which was my favorite.

There was a wonderful after-party that was kindly hosted by Heidi's husband's coworker and his family.
