Wow – I’ve been so busy playing my fiddle that I haven’t fiddled around the ol’ blog site for a while!
No excuses just an explanation…okay enough stringing you along!
Have you read the news? Please do because then you will see why I am so proud to promote the Jazz Consortium Big Band led by none other than my talented husband, Roy Vombrack! I hope to see you this Sunday, April 15th 6 p.m. at Durty Nellie’s in Palatine. I can’t wait to hear the trumpet section blast from the past, the theme from “Rocky”!
Technically, I am not a “real blonde” but I am the only (that means I am both concertmaster and last chair fiddle at the SAME time) “real violinist” for the upcoming musical, “Legally Blonde” at Stagg High School next week under the direction of Bob Mecozzi.
I am honored once again to “play” a part in the Volunteer Recognition Dinner for Schaumburg Township on Tuesday, April 24th at the Seville Banquets. Many thanks to Elegant Ensembles of Schaumburg for making the arrangements!
Please mark your calendars for Sunday, April 29th – the 150th Anniversary Service at First Congregational Church in Glenn Ellyn! The choir will be accompanied by a HUGE orchestra with yours truly as concertmaster.
That’s if for April – stay “tuned” for May events starting with a repeat performance at the Metropolitan Family Services Gala at Bobak’s on May 4th and my one-woman show for the Women at the Well of the Church of the Holy Spirit on Tuesday, May 8th – thanks!!
