Skyros Quartet Meets Los Angeles

We just returned from a wonderful trip to Los Angeles, where we were excited to perform as finalists in the 2013 Annual Coleman Chamber Ensemble Competition! We learned so much, met new friends, reunited with old friends, and even saw some of the L.A. scenery!

Here Justin and James, along with Willie's cello, prepare to depart from the Omaha airport.

We rehearsed at a beautiful home in Pasadena.

Here Willie, James, and Justin check out the CalTech campus where the competition was held.

After our dress rehearsal, we checked out the Santa Monica Pier!

After competition day, we met up with Sarah's friend Claire who works as an assistant casting director in Hollywood and showed us the best Hollywood sites!

 Before our plane departed, we drove to Malibu on a warm and sunny day.

Back in Lincoln...snow on May 1st!!! Definitely an interesting contrast to our recent trip!
