205/365 Sundays are for music....

Treble musical brownie points for us today. First stop was Rideau Hall grounds for a free concert as part of Chamberfest. On offer was an hour of beautiful harmonies from the Borealis String Quartet. Perfect accompaniment to our scones and iced coffee.

A quick dog walk and then off to the National Gallery, for a concert by Jesse Stewart, who set up camp in the abstract gallery, using Voice of Fire as his backdrop. If you have never heard a waterphone played (and you probably have, just weren't aware that's what it was), make sure you do. Eerie. Combined with drums, beaters, and a multitude of gizmos that are well beyond my musical knowledge - fantastic. My knees were vibrating. (That's a good thing!). Sadly no photos....

Yes, only the third event of the day is recorded pictorially, and from the picture you would think there were only a handful of people out enjoying the offerings of the Piknic Electronic this week.....

the crowd (~150) were mostly hidden up in the shade, but enjoying the music nonetheless. I admit to being most skeptical about the appeal of this event, but yet again Dr.H proved me wrong. Worth the cycle for the people watching alone, and I actually enjoyed the music much more than expected too. Will definitely venture back again before summer draws to a close.

Oh, and great views of a scaffolding-less parliament on the way home too.
