Photo Of The Day: April 10, 2008

My sister is a professional cellist who plays with both the Spokane and Yakima Symphonies in Washington State. Recently, she was in New Hampshire to perform a concert. When she travels, she often brings her carbon fiber cello, which is rugged and thus well-suited to baggage compartments of jetliners. Despite limitations of that instrument vs. her prized 1800s Thomas Kennedy cello, she makes it sound as rich and warm and pure as any cellist I've heard. Here is her bow in action at an invitation-only rehearsal to that New Hampshire concert. For more concert photos, visit Paul Scharff Photography.com.
