Lent and Easter are busy times for liturgical musicians. Lenten music is often very solemn and sorrowful for which the cello is perfectly suited. I was honored to play some cello solos this year at our new parish, Our Lady of Lourdes on the Southside. It was a big jump going from violin to cello and I loved the challenge.
Thanks to my piano teachers Barb Kubota and Mrs. Ma for teaching me to read bass clef at an early age. A special thank you to my cello teacher Thea Vorass for helping this old man check off another thing from my bucket list 🎻🎶♥️.
Thanks also to my new liturgical music director Anne Van Deusen for asking me to play. 🙏🏽
