Ladies Musical Club of Seattle – Seattle Main Library Branch – January 8, 2025
This organization is new to me, so I’m excited to learn of its extensive performance offerings! The pattern seems to be two distinct sets per gig, about an hour total and scram! Some of the players appear at multiple events; each sketched just the once, and then subsequently referenced, permits me time to sketch new people.
For this gig the two themes were “Schubert Piano Trio” and “American Art Songs and Barber’s Knoxville“. In the latter, vocalist Alfonso’s rendition of Shenandoah got me to put down the pen and pause until my eyes cleared sufficiently to resume. Lovely! It turns out that I had previously sketched her at the Ballard Farmers Market where she joined a desgnated busker for an impromptu opera duet! (https://parkergambino.com/?p=4911)
