Update 3...Friday night

The concert was a huge success!! We performed outside at Bologna's Piazza Santo Stefano. The weather was nearly perfect (just a touch of wind), the stage was wonderful, and the crowd was large and very appreciative. In fact, we were called back for THREE encores!

Today we relocated to Milan to catch an early flight home tomorrow. We visited the Duomo (the main cathedral) and toured La Scala Opera House. There are pictures below--just a few of the thousands we have taken over the last week.

Thanks for all your thoughts, prayers, and kind words. The students and Dr. Neal appreciate them! We look forward to seeing everyone when we return.
