It was a very cold evening last night, and we almost didn't want to go out, but we were so glad that we did.
We were very privileged to hear the internationally known violinist Tasmin Little, who gave a concert at our Hall for Cornwall in Truro.
She delighted the audience with her gentle commentaries on each piece, and played so beautifully. I particularly enjoyed a piece by an American composer, Amy Beach.
We found ourselves both waiting for taxis after the performance, so were able to talk a little with her. She is such a pleasant unaffected person.
She is off to Melbourne in the next month or two...from one end of the world to another.
Our Hall for Cornwall, which is the only local venue for large performances, is closing for nearly two years while it is extensively renovated.
This is the proposed layout, with much better disabled access, a three tiered auditorium, and other significant changes.
We look forward to it.

What a lovely evening!
I must say I've been enjoying seeing glimpses of beautiful Cornwall on Escape to the Country and Doc Martin. I just love quirky shows. Its fun to know I have a friend living there!
I'm glad you had a nice evening! A concert is always so nice ...
Have a good week & love Carolien
Sounds like a perfect evening! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. I love violin music so that is something I would have liked.
Sounds like a lovely evening out. How delightful to get to speak with the artist herself.
That sounds like a good upgrade to the hall. Glad your evening turned out well and that it was enjoyable.
I tend to be a homebody, but sometimes it's worth some extra effort to do something special. It sounds like this was one of those times that your effort was rewarded!
I am so glad you had the opportunity to get out and enjoy some lovely music!
That sounds like a wonderful evening! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed a night out.
