Be extra careful today -- one mile will be clear, the next will have dense fog. Be prepared to slow down. The fog stretches along a Youngstown-Streetsboro-Cleveland Hopkins Airport line. The fog will dissipate by mid-morning.
What a fabulous time last night at the Wu Han/Philip Setzer/David Finckel concert at Fairmount Temple Auditorium in Beachwood. They played two Schubert piano trios: B-flat, op. 99, D. 898, and E-flat, op. 100, D. 929. Thanks to the folks at the Cleveland Chamber Music Society for a very satisfying concert.
Clevelanders take their music VERY seriously. The pre-concert chat was well attended. During the concert, a lady sitting near me knew the B-flat trio so well that she was humming along.
Wu Han's wardrobe is always memorable. She wore a floaty, shimmery, black and silvery knee-length overblouse trimmed in ruffles. Her shoes were silver, and her leggings seemed to be heavier than the standard variety -- they almost seemed to be velour. Messrs. Setzer and Finckel wore business suits, white shirts and bow ties in gold and red, respectively.

That was an glorious concert. I've seen the Emerson several times but had never heard Han. Sadly, we were only able to stay for the first half. It was my four-year-old daughter's first grownup concert (she was quieter and better behaved than some folks 17 times her age). We didn't want to push our luck. My only question about that concert is why is was not packed to the gills. People have no idea what they're missing.
