This is our third year attending the Midsummer Mozart Festival with Music Director George Cleve and his orchestra.  As usual, we arrive two and a half hours before the music begins to make sure we get good seating.  This hill-side concert was at the Gundlach-Bundschu Winery.

This year was special.  After three years of attending the festival in a row, I finally met George Cleve the Music Director of Midsummer Mozart Festival.

He then introduced us to his wife, and the flutist, Ms. Maria Tamburrino.

We also met the featured pianists, Yong Jean Park and Yong Sun Park.  They are sisters!

What a treat and a surprise.  Members of his orchestra have noticed us coming to this festival over the years.  We’re becoming part of the family!
