Let's put the flute down and listen to this wonderful cellist...

This is the fifth day of a very busy week so we are extremely exhausted and just want to go to bed... But we still wanted to give you a summary about the fifth day of the fifth year of Neflac. Today' s guest was the famous and fabulous cellist Pieter Wispelwey. His playing and speech was amazing. At the evening rehearsal with him he blew us away but we still had to play pianisssssssssiiisssssssimo and extra short staccati. Poor him- he didn't know that a contrabass flute can only do: whoaaaaa. :)

After the orchestra rehearsal and dinner outside (yay! it tasted so great AGAIN!) Suzanne interviewed Pieter about performing, practising, communicating with the audience, travelling, cancelling concerts when you have a morning crisis (haha it is a joke!!! He is very ironic!)...His energy was unbelievable even at this time of day (it's 22:40!!!) So that explains why we stop writing now and go to bed. Suzanne and Emily are very strict about our bedtime today and tomorrow because we will have three concerts in two days. Even Pieter doesn't have three concerts in two days!!
