December 27th marked CFC's fourth annual winter concert at The Cliffs at Eagle Rock. Furthermore, this concert marked the first joint concert between the High School and College Divisions of CFC. Christopher Bae--president of the High School Division--recruited and organized high school members of CFC, while I organized the repertoire for the College Division. Together, we created an unforgettable concert for both the residents of The Cliffs and an exciting experience for CFC members, old and new.
Coming back from college to rehearse and perform for this concert was an amazing and enjoyable experience. One of the motivating factors of founding CFC in the first place was to foster a love of chamber music among young musicians. For me, chamber music is one of the most enjoyable forms of music, because it requires teamwork and friendship between the involved musicians, not only to make long rehearsals enjoyable, but also to create a united sense of sound. Throughout our rehearsals in high school, we have fostered this sense of camaraderie among our members, and it was wonderful to see that this was not lost among our college members as we rehearsed together for the first time in months. Furthermore, it was exciting to see that Chris had continued this tradition of chamber playing among the new high school members. Finally, to combine our love of music with the opportunity to play for residents of this nursing home, who we have grown to know and love, was just the perfect culmination as I returned from my first semester at college. This concert represented both the start of the new chapter of CFC, but also the continuation of the best aspects of CFC from the past: chamber playing, the opportunity to serve our community, and also a fun time with our members! I look forward to the next joint performance!
