Christmas season is one of the busiest time for musicians in Pittsburgh.  For past several years I have been a part of several Christmas services that take place at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Sewickley, Pa, a small historical town north of Pittsburgh.  The church music director hires musicians from Pittsburgh to form a chamber orchestra including violins, violas, cellos,bass, flute,clarinet and trumpet, and we perform along with the church choir.  We usually play at two evening services on Christmas Eve. with about thirty minutes of music program prior to each service.  In between the services musicians have time for a break and also for food that church and choir members so graciously provide for us!  It is one of those jobs that never quite feels like a job but more like an annual fun event, where we see the same group of musicians and friends in both, choir and orchestra.  Since I was part of the orchestra, I had no way of taking photos of us playing, but during the break I took a couple of photos of Christmas decorations at the church. It is a wonderful place with very friendly people full of energy, smiles and warm hearts. Thank you to all of you for having us play at your church for all these years!
