On Monday, December 19, I'll be playing the Ravel Sonata for Violin and Cello with Ana Sarbu for the kids we coach at Floyd Central High School.  This isn't a public event but intended to give the kids a chance to hear their coaches in performance on a work we've just started rehearsing a few weeks ago.
