Even on the second day of spring we endured yet another snowfall, which perhaps diminished our numbers at 10,000 Hours. For those who persevered, the program was most rewarding. We were treated to two-piano transcriptions of movements from two of Rachmaninoff's beloved piano concertos … one our few venues where this is possible.
