Interesting to see this. Altamont Diary is a great album.

Not a lot of concert photos lately
Probably because there's also few concerts to attend

Full concentration? C'mon, Pieter. What's the artist's name?   
Nice shot BTW.

Despite the raging Covid Omicron variant, the Melbourne Youth Orchestras Summer School went ahead, with strict safety protocols, including rapid antigen testing and masking.
For me a generational shift as my elder daughter the violinist was a regular participant when she was a school girl, and now her 10 year old elder daughter.
Some photos I took at the final recital after these disparate groups of kids who got together for the first time only 5 days before, rehearsed and mastered new and unfamiliar repertoires, and performed beautifully.
The performances were in the Dame Elisabeth Murdoch Hall of the Melbourne Recital Centre, famed for its wonderful acoustics as well as for its award winning design. As someone once said, it feels and sounds like you are inside the body of a gigantic stringed instrument.
All photos a99ii and CZ 24-70mm f2.8 Vario-Sonnar.

These first two photos are of the youngest Casey string ensemble, Preliminary to grade 2, years 7 and up.
