Leave a comment

Romey and I remain delighted to have a world-class concert series booting up across the road. (In fact, we’re so pleased that we’re happy to help support the series.) Read more about the first concerts here.

This iteration featured classical guitar and flute.

Here are some recordings from the concert itself. I wish I had recorded more of the Piazollo.

The Riverside Parlor Series (aka the Castleman Concerts) Kicks Off

1 Comment

How cool is this? Across the street in the middle of nowhere (in the main house of the 311 acre farm over there) there’s a new concert series budding. So incredible to have world class musicians perform just up the hill! Don’t tell anyone that we drove over both times since it was 94 degrees outside.

The Riverside Parlor Series is a dream of Barbara and Adam’s involving the beautifully renovated River House. The house has only had four owners since 1790.

We went to both performances, the first flute and piano and the second, two flutes.

The music was excellent.

Friday 8.15: Barbara O’Brien and Rodrigo Ojeda

Your host Adam Foster.

I particularly love the Poulenc. Here is an unretouched rough recording.


The piano plays the Moonlight Sonata by itself.

Sunday 8.17: Barbara O’Brien and Julie McGough


Fine Lines was composed by a then 9 year old Natalie Joachim (and honestly you can kind of discern that) who later became a member of Eighth Blackbird

We are looking forward to the next Castleman Concert.
