Ptuj Castle (18th Sept) and Salon Cecelja (19th Sept)

We have performed in some wonderful venues over the last week. Our first concert was at the magnificent Ptuj Castle in Slovenia. Torrential rain and flooding failed to deter our audience, although none of us have ever performed a concert accompanied by such a storm. Huge lightening flashes added another dimension to Handel's Lucrezia. This was followed by a performance in Varazdin (Croatia) the following night. This launched the opening of a new music salon at the beautiful home of Zeljko and Martina. No expense was spared in preparing the room, with wonderful wall-hangings and chandeliers brought in from Vienna. We were overlooked by a picture of Handel, checking out the proceedings. As seems usual in this part of the world, we were spoilt with wonderful hospitality at both concerts with local food and wine specialities.
