***


Superb final rehearsal, including first-and-only time that Kat Walsh's piece has practiced with the intended performers, the ballet evolving as


September 26

Kristen Kline - Violin I
Kat Walsh - Violin II
Harry Bernstein - Viola
Irene Herrman - Cello


September 29

Kristen Kline - Violin I
Kat Walsh - Violin II
Harry Bernstein - Viola
Crystal Pascucci - Cello

October 3

Kristen Kline's Substitute - Violin I
Kat Walsh - Violin II
Charlie Sharzer - Viola
Harry Bernstein - Cello (on Viola, reading Bass Clef!)


October 4

Kristen Kline - Violin I
Harry Bernstein (7:00pm) / Kat Walsh (7:08pm) - Violin II
Charlie Sharzer - Viola
Irene Herrmann - Cello


So, by this point, Harry Bernstein has covered all but the Violin I part, and he is not slated to be one of the performers tomorrow!  Ironic that Kat was on time for all three rehearsals-without-exact personnel, and then wound up a little late due to Golden Gate Bridge traffic on this key final practice -- but, no worries, all goes well, nevertheless...
