Spooktacular

Sophia had the opportunity to play piano at Glensheen Mansion’s Halloween Spooktacular last night.  It was opening night of the event and several music students played solo and group pieces in the carriage house as guests made their way through the grounds of the estate and viewed hundreds of jack-o-lanterns.  Sophia was excited to play one of her favorite songs “Little Grey Owl” and also to see Spooktacular again this year.  It didn’t hurt that there was hot chocolate, popcorn and s’mores available along the way.

Solo – Little Grey Owl

Here’s the video of her performance on YouTube.

We saw jack-o-lanterns of all shapes and sizes with no two designs the same.

Sophia did a great job playing her piece without missing a note and we enjoyed a wonderful fall evening walking the grounds of a beautiful estate.
