Today was very enjoyable, starting with an afternoon Chamber Orchestra Concert by the Portland Youth Philharmonic. The musicians range from 8th grade to seniors in high school and their talent is unbelievable. Today's program was especially enjoyable because the guest artists were Hossein Salehi and his son who have been trained to play ancient Persian musical instruments. They were accompanied by the chamber musicians who played violins, cello, bass, flute, clarinet with about five unusual Persian instruments.
After the concert, Roger dropped me off at Brasserie Montmartre where I joined Allison for a five course French dinner, including white and red wine for $39.99 and it was an amazing menu; 2 appetizers, salad, a fish course, fingerling potatoes, sauerkraut, andouille sausage, confit pork shoulder for the entree and a custard eclair for dessert. Are we stuffed? Well.......... yes. The tables were each set for eight people so we were able to get acquainted with others and had enjoyable conversations.
