We Are Officially Cornhuskers!

We just started our studies at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and we are having a fantastic time already! We had the great honor this week of playing Mendelssohn's Octet with the Chiara String Quartet for the Hixon-Lied Concert Series in Kimball Recital Hall on the UNL campus. Here is a picture of Skyros+Chiara after the concert:



We are thankful for the wonderful opportunities in our musical lives right now!



The week before the concert, we visited The Mill Coffee and Tea in the Haymarket district of Lincoln to promote the concert on the Friday Live broadcast of NET 91.1 Nebraska's PBS and NPR Stations. Here we are with Rebecca Fischer from Chiara Quartet at The Mill:



We also checked out what The Mill had to offer!


Other highlights from September included playing for the Chancellor's State of the University address, and the Chancellor's pre-game tailgate! Pictures below.



 
We also enjoyed our first Husker's football game!
