2008 Inaugural event-Viola ensemble play along and barbeque.
The Indiana Viola Society had our first official activity as an organization
this
past Labor Day Weekend in the form of a pot luck barbeque picnic at the
home of Theresa Langdon, IVS charter member and a violist with the
Indianapolis Symphony. After a delicious round of hot dogs, hamburgers
and veggie burgers-along with the traditional potato salad and
desserts-we retired to the living room, where Alan deVeritch lead our
intrepid group in impromptu performances of selected viola ensemble
music, including Alan's own arrangement of excerpts from the third act
of Puccini's "La Boheme". Overall, about a dozen violists participated,
including a good portion of our charter members plus students from
around the area and the state.
