As I’m wrapping up with finals week at Mt. SAC I can already feel that the long, sultry days of summer are nearing. I love soaking up the rays of sunshine and taking some time to relax from the busy school year. Summer time also brings open-air concert series into full swing at venues such […]
Harry and Two and Four
Harry Connick, Jr., is one of my absolute favorite musicians. He’s really got it all — sultry singing voice, agile piano playing, slick Southern style, affable personality — and did I mention stunning good looks? But really, above all that, he is truly an incredibly well-rounded musician. And he truly embodies every positive character that […]
Shoe LOVE
What girl doesn’t love a great pair of shoes?! I find myself flipping through the pages of InStyle and dreaming about killer heels and admiring relaxing flats. Heels make me feel strong and powerful, not to mention that my long legs look even longer. Then there are days when I long for the comfort of […]
Milk & Cookies
Everyone needs a hobby. It’s what helps you unwind from a long work day, gets your mind off the stress of the week, and gives you a chance to do something purely for fun. My hobby is baking, and while it’s something that I do for fun, I definitely take it seriously! I absolutely adore […]
Julio
Happy Chamber Music Month! Recently at a Third Wheel performance at Mt. San Antonio College we performed a program we call “Locally Grown Chamber Music.” It features music from local composers and highlights the fact that our music and process is hand crafted and locally sourced. It’s a patchwork festival of sorts for modern chamber music! […]
Happy May!
Summer is in the air today! The Santa Ana winds are blowing and it is dry and hot. A good day for staying inside in the air-conditioning. May is the last full month of school for most of us, packed with lots of concerts. Did you know that May is actually National Chamber Music Month?! […]
Alternatives
I have been working on a production of A Chorus Line lately. It’s the long-running Broadway hit from the 1970s that chronicles an audition for a fictional Broadway show. The material for the show, which profiles each of the dancers at the audition, is taken from a series of interviews that the writers did with […]
NOLA
I ended last month’s cruise to the Caribbean with a few days in New Orleans. I have always wanted to go since hearing about its amazing contribution to music in Jazz History class. So much mystery surrounds this city and I learned so much about its past while taking some walking tours of the cemetery […]
Cooking for Two
One of the things I love to do on weekends when I’m not working is cook! You can find me on a Saturday morning watching FOOD Network episodes of Barefoot Contessa, The Pioneer Woman, Giada at Home and more. Last Saturday I felt inspired to go to the grocery store and pick-up ingredients to make […]
Norwegian Wood
If you have ever come to a Third Wheel performance, it’s pretty obvious that we are all huge fans of The Beatles. There are very few performances where we don’t find a way to squeeze in a cover or two of some of our favorite Beatles songs — Blackbird and Eleanor Rigby are the two […]
