Ode to joy

Yesterday Lily had her first violin recital since moving to California. Here she is intently waiting for her turn.

 Taking the stage with Chris, the owner of the SJG School of Music.

 Lily played Beethoven's "Ode to Joy."

She was the only violinist of the day and one of the few who did not use sheet music.

 Yesterday was not Amalia's day.

 Though she did convince Grandpa to take her out to the playground during part of the recital.
