Lake Chelan Bach Festival

We have spent the last five days in Chelan, WA as members of the Bach Festival Orchestra. We were housed out with a very nice family and spent most of our time rehearsing, eating and spending time with our musician friends.

We ate out a few of our favorite restaurants in Chelan: Campbell's Resort, J.R.'s Bar and Grill, and Local Myth Pizza. We also enjoyed a few picnics at the local parks. Above is a tasty kabob fresh from Safeway!


We enjoyed watching these sailboats circle around the lake. Kent wanted to be out there so bad!




The Bach Festival Orchestra and Chorus performed the Mozart Requiem. This was the last piece that Mozart composed before his death and there is a lot of controversy on how much was actually written before his death. It is about 45 minutes in length and a very powerful piece of music.





Caitlin joined us in Chelan on Saturday and we went to a local park for a picnic. The dogs enjoyed the cool water. Maisy had her very first swim!
