This is a ridiculously belated post that should have been set up TWO WEEKS ago.  Apologies!

Anyhow, there was a Christmas concert at my school with two excellent pianist each playing a piano.  I'd never been to a piano concert before, and realized just how much I've missed!  Iryna Simoneaux and Dr. Oscar Dressler stunned their audience with selections from Tchaicovsky's Nutcracker, several Christmas carol arrangements, and a glorious final "Ode to Joy."  It certainly put me in the Christmas spirit, and I have vowed to attend anything else of the sort that may occur in the area in the future (hint, hint!)

These pictures were taken by a photographer who attends a class with me.  I promised him that I'd post these, as I've seen his previous work and, to my admittedly uneducated eyes, it is very good.  His name is Luigee Mroof, of Mroof Photography.  If you are interested in having him photograph you, your event, or whatever else, he can be contacted at MroofPhotography@yahoo.com.  Samples of his work are available at www.myspace.com/mroofphotography.

And so, without further ado, Ms. Iryna Simoneaux and Dr. Oscar Dressler!

 

Acknowledging well-deserved applause

 

 

Nothing says Christmas like Tchaikovsky, and btw, isn't that a gorgeous poinsetta?

Same pianist, who is making all this look very easy...

 

 

Can you tell he loves making music?

 

 

Christmas time is here!

 

 

The pianist diva making beautiful music

 

 

 

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

 

This last one is a picture of the Christmas tree at Sundance Square in downtown FTW.

And finally, here is an example of his more "advertisement"-style photography.  This is from a previous concert, which I was unable to attend:

 

 

So, here's a shameless plug for a fellow student: if you have a wedding, senior pictures, portfolio pics or whatever that need to be done, email Mroof Photography!
