This venue turned out to be great to play this piece in. Partly because of the room's beautiful resonance and natural lighting but more so because of all the lush paintings that fill it. It just so happened that the painting that was put behind the piano had baby Jesus directly in the middle which seemed to loom over me during this performance. So I felt particularly bad when I played some wrong notes or took a passage too fast, as Jesus himself was looking down upon me! A strange and interesting coincidence!
Thanks to Ben Lohman for taking these photos.
