We attended one of a dozen concerts in the year-end Nevada Chamber Music Fesitval. It’s been a while since I last saw classical music performed, and this was a good reminder that it’s worth doing now and then. The dedication and ability of classical musicians always amazes me, and they make music that doesn’t do much for me in a recording come alive.
