The festival is the brainchild of violinist Mikayla Myers McTeer and pianist Lisa Campi. Lisa is a dear friend and one of my oldest and closest musical associates. We&#8217;ve known each other nearly 20 years and have played together in all kinds of recitals and festivals and co-founded the Taliesin Trio, which was\u00a0a big part of my musical life in the 90s.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0What a great contrast after four days working with conducting students. I have to say, it&#8217;s a relief to be making sound (even on a borrowed cello) rather than encouraging sound (or worse yet, trying to explain how better to encourage sound) right now. Repertoire couldn&#8217;t be better- today was the Mozart D Major quartet (&#8220;Hoffmeister&#8221;) and the Dvorak Piano Quintet. Lisa&#8217;s the only person here I&#8217;ve worked with before, and I have to say that it is refreshing to meet new colleagues. We started with the Mozart and it was great just\u00a0to launch into a\u00a0piece like that with three musicians you&#8217;ve never met.\u00a0Should be a memorable week, but I&#8217;ve got some practicing to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0KW<\/p>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:100px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/kennethwoods.net\/blog1\/2006\/06\/28\/clocktower\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"box_count\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"true\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just completed my first day at the Clocktower Chamber Music Festival in Durango, Colorado.
