A Glorious Ten months in Review...

Despite the fact that we havn't posted pictures in a dreadfully long time, the Lenz Quartet is still alive and well, enjoying many opportunities to grace our community with delightful, live music!
Our photographer, Samuel, came with us a few times over Christmas and this past summer; he recently reminded me I haven't been posting his work. So I've selelcted a few pictures I believe you will enjoy:

Last Christmas we played for several services around the South-Eastern Minnesota area...
Daddy made us an early breakfast before playing for a Sunday morning Christmas service... 
After three Christmas Eve services in a row! (Christmas "afternoon" for us :o) )
Benjamin and Garrison's orchestra just before performing Vivaldi's Gloria...
The wise musician's close friends... :o)
An early summer wedding... I won't tell how many pairs of socks we are wearing! It was a cool day.
A windy day! We were amplified with a sound system for this particular wedding and during the ceremony we kept hearing sounds like an Aeolian Harp coming from the speakers. We discovered that the wind was just strong enough to blow across my flute embouchre and Emily, Garrison and Benjamin's strings...it was actually making noise the sound system could pick up. Everyone keep your instrument at just the right angle so the wind doesn't play it for you ! :o)
A lovely garden wedding near Dodge Center...
Cloth's pins; an absolute necessity for an outdoor wedding...
Garrison and Ben analyze the need for amplification...
Just last Saturday we played for a wedding at the Borromeo Catholic Church in St. Charles. The acoustics were remarkable! At the couple's request we incorporated much of Bach's beautiful music in the prelude and ceremony and it was so lovely and tasteful!
This coming weekend we are playing music for an outdoor wedding on a farm near a small town called Berne. We'll post more pictures soon!
