hardly back to normal
Our quartet met at 8:30 and started recording Debussy and Ravel this morning at 9:30, I've hardly ever been so exhausted as I am today! After a short break we continued with the Chausson with our guest artists, but had to cut it short when we were evacuated from the hall:

If you check the pictures, there's one of our David.
We had just been warned by the stage manager that a fire on the roof of the big hall had broken out - we were in the small hall - when we started to smell smoke, and didn't wait long for his next bulletin!!!!! The police met us on the stairs, on their way to get us out. The pictures are dramatic, and that's pretty much what it was like. I was surprised at how quickly my sensitive lungs started to register the smoke, I was having trouble breathing, even when we were outside. Luckily the police let me have my bike, and I got out of there as soon as I could. I met very concerned musicians who had left their instruments out on the big hall side, but the newspapers are saying that all the instruments, except pianos, have been rescued.
Who knows if our concert will take place as planned tomorrow night...
