Navarro Wedding

It was a long day for a short gig - 11 hours gone from home, and we only played for 2 of those hours! I was in Frankenmuth several years ago, and had almost forgotten what a cute town it is. We will definitely plan on a return trip soon!

This wedding was especially fun because I got to share it with a great friend of mine from college. She works in Ann Arbor, so it worked out perfectly for her to play violin for the ceremony. We had a wonderful time catching up on all the gossip and news of other friends from our days together at Valparaiso University. It's so easy to perform with musicians you know so well. Even though we had never done a wedding together before, all of the music came together perfectly! The ceremony selections included:

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
Canon in D
Bridal Chorus
Air on the G String
Wedding March

Very traditional, and lovely! I also played for the first hour of the reception with just harp - that was a mix of popular songs and classical pieces. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
