Last night was an interesting concert. Leonid Kovakos performed a stunning Bartok Violin Concerto #2. (What a great talent he is). Then, after intermission, we headed into the Bruckner Symphony #6. Suddenly, a musician took ill during the second movement. He is fine now but we were all breathless after he fell to the stage floor. After about 20 minutes of care from tour doctor Glenn Newell, we got the word that he was OK and we continued the symphony from where we stopped. Unfortunately, his bass was broken.
Today, we left the hotel and boarded a fast ferry to Las Palmas on the Island of Gran Canaria. The one hour cruise was delightful with sea air and lots of sunshine. Our new hotel, Hotel Santa Catalina is lovely with lots of palm trees and marble. The only problem of the day is that our luggage missed the 10:45 AM ferry and will be arriving around 7:30 PM. So, we will have to go without some of our things until after the concert.
