Wednesday (11/16) I got to meet up with my old friend, Luis Zorita, who is a cellist and was a student at Roosevelt University at the same time I was. We were good friends back then - we had a group of people like Izzy Getzov, Katy Wentink (Phish fan), Lea Wilkinson, Chai, Ferras Hattar, and other folks. One of my earliest memories of Luis is when we played the opera, "Die Fledermaus" together at RU. He used to do everything he could to try to make me laugh during performances. He was certainly one the most talented musicians there and now he lives in Vienna. He got married to Gerlinda and has a cute son, Rafael (pictured here). He plays in various ensembles in Vienna and throughout Europe. He mainly plays principle cello or solo cello (just got done with performances of Don Quixote!) Actually, I would say that he is quite sucessful in his career as a performer. He says he is more "successful" at being happy and content with what he does and with his family. Isn't that nice?
