It's a New Year



 Usually on New Year's Eve we go to Milos for dinner and then to the Chorale's New Year's Eve Concert at the Virginia Theater.  This year the Virginia Theater is closed for renovations so the Chorale's Concert was held at the Vineyard on the evening prior to New Year's Eve.  We enjoyed performances by Scholarship winners, Molly Netter and Derek Maninfior, the Urbana Pops String Section, as well as the Chorale.  What a great concert to prepare us for the new year!

 

The Chorale under the direction of Julie Beyler.

Molly is a student at Yale, while Derek is a student at the Jacobs School of Music.

 Milos is a fantastic restaurant with an unusual menu; one of my favorite dining places!


New Year's Eve Menu at Milos.  I had the wild mushroom ravioli, and Hubby had the shrimp cakes.  Mmmmm . . . . .Good!

Jakey had a gift card to spend, and he just had to have this drum set from Toys R Us.  Here's a short video of his performance.
