Asher's Mountain Music Camp

    We drove down to Idaho, and dropped Asher off at the "Mountain Strings" chamber music camp at Herriamn State Park. He spent the week there, with musicians from all over the U.S.


Later in the week, Mattias and I drove up to hear a Paganini concert by their guest artist.  The concert was great.. but the we had to wait for an evening thunderstorm to blow over. It left the sky with a dazzling stormy sunset.


Later in the week, the student came down to town to put on a concert for the locals.  The venue was beautiful.  The Rexburg Tabernacle had a great sound, as well as beautiful craftmanship.  The kids played well.
 At the end of the week, we all drove up for a dinner and chamber music recital.   Here is Asher getting ready to preform with his chamber group. 


I think it was a good experience for Asher to spend a week with other musicians, and play is such a beautiful environment.  Asher said it was very busy, and they played for 7-8 hours a day.  He had some good arm muscles when the week was over.
