This last weekend was a busy one for me. On Friday I attended the annual dinner for Habitat for Humanity at the Arizona Biltmore. You can see above the crowds of people bidding on the many silent auction items. I donated two framed photos for the auction and you can see one of them in this photo.
On Saturday evening I went to the Symphony Hall for another performance of the Phoenix Symphony. I was able to catch a photo of the whole orchestra on stage while they waited for the guest pianist to appear. It was another excellent performance by our wonderful symphony.
Just before the symphony my friends and I had dinner at new downtown restaurant called Pa'La. They cook everything they prepare in a wood burning oven. We tried several dishes and all of them were delicious. It's great to find another eating option close to Symphony Hall.
On Sunday afternoon, I attended a smaller musical performance put on by the Arizona Bach Festival. Their mission is to bring the finest in Baroque music to Arizona. They did Vivaldi's Four Seasons, one of my all time favorites and they were fantastic. They performed in a church with surprisingly good acoustics. It was a busy weekend but I loved every minute of it.
