Symf. Orchestra Osnabrück with headscarf and missing Rachel Barton-Pine

September 3, 2007 04:12

I saw a phote in the newspaper of a German orchestra who had to play with a headscarf in Teheran.

By the way I was last friday in Germany to try to visit the concert of the symphonyorchestra of Gottingen with Rachel Bartin Pine who played the 2th violinconcerto of J.Joachim. But too much traffic problems in the Netherlands and near Dortmund and a road to Kassel, near Gottingen, was closed, so my Garmin GPS said at 20.00 in the end near Siegen near Koln that I would arrive in Gottingen at 21.30 (20.15 was the beginning of the concert), so I returned to Holland and drove for nothing 8 hours.
Silly me, next time I have to leave much earlier.
