Matthew Sings
June 6, 2024
We got to go to another UC Davis musical event, courtesy of our nephew Matthew. It combined the UC Davis Concert Choir, the Chamber Singers (with whom Matthew sings) and the UC Davis Concert Band. And, it was at the Mondavi.
Such a treat!
Maita flew up from LA, Dean flew down from Seattle and Alan drove over from SF. We had dinner at our house before the concert, and dessert after the concert. A lovely time was had by all.

This piece was interesting…. called “Weather,” it was composed by Rollo Dilworth based on a poem about racial justice (injustice, actually) written by Claudia Rankine (who may have been sitting down the row from us).
All the pieces performed were very… unique. They were lively and, in my limited experience, non-traditional, but all held my attention. Fun to see Matthew be part of something like this. A whole bunch of his lab cohort showed up to support him, which was nice. Glad we could go.
