A big hug over the Atlantic

I got this email this morning and it really made me smile:

Hello Ariadne

how are you and how are your studies going???
Are you still playing the guitar???
A big hug over the atlantic.

Antigoni

She is one of the most amazing guitarists in the world. I was lucky to have the chance to perform and study with her in high school. Her daughter, who is probably 3 or 4 now, is named Ariadni and she is adorable. Last year, she started a workshop for young performers in Volterra, Italy that consisted of lessons and concerts held in an old farm house in the countryside. It sounded amazing – unfortunately the class goes until September 10th, which is past the start of MIT.

This email made me realize that there are so many things that I still want to do with guitar! Go to Volterra! Study in Brussels! I’m going to make an effort to plan my internships/plans to incorporate such a guitar experience in the future…
