Personal Photo Folio of WCCIII

I enjoyed meeting many of the members of the Internet Cello Society. We had an informal meeting where 30 members showed up from age 8 - 70. More than 60 ICS members attended, participated and presented in the World Cello Congress III. I was busy practicing for my early Thursday morning premiere performance of Maria Newman's Sonata for Solo Cello "Othmar", but after that I managed to get a few digital pictures to share with you all. This is my personal folio and does not necessarily reflect an official ICS perspective. It is by no means comprehensive, and if I have omitted something, please send it to me so that we may include it. John Michel

Big Sister Is Watching You!

Rena? was in charge of executing the strict rules of no video or camera shots. She took my video tape but gave it back after getting permission. We both had a good laugh about it after the fact, and she agreed to pose for these shots!
