Trio Chicago & Friends

On Sunday afternoon, Trio Chicago & Friends treated the US Embassy in Botswana to a fabulous concert. We were able to meet several of the musicians afterwards. The girls especially enjoyed talking to the pianist, Kay Kim. All the musicians were so easy to talk to. An absolute pleasure.

The group has a busy schedule while here. They performed one evening as part of the annual month-long celebration called 'Maitisong Festival' at Maitisong. On Monday, the group treated those attending their Master Class at the Maru-a-Pula School to a mini-convert. I could listen to them all day! The girls and I attended the mini-concert and then the Master Class for piano. Though I'm not the one playing piano in the family, I learned so much!

What an honor to meet Trio Chicago & Friends! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Here are a few pictures I was able to capture:

I loved watching Kay Kim's hands while she played.
Her fingers seemed to float over the keys so effortlessly.

The vocalist has an amazing voice! She is so passionate when she sings.

I didn't get a photo of either of the girls with any of the group members. Can you believe they were too shy? We have great memories of our time with them, just the same.
