| Marc Destrubé - 24 January 2026 |
John 2:1-11
In the Wedding of Cana we find out that Jesus converts water into wine at the end of the feast when the wine had run out. Comments were made about serving the best for last.
On January 24th I attended a home concert of La Modestine in which the first work by an unknown (to me) composer Dietrich Becker, Sonata and suite a 2 in D Major was so fabulous that I told myself it was not going to get any better. It is precisely because of my musical ignorance that while the rest of the program was excellent I will stick to my guns and insist that Becker was the best.
Because of my age (83) I am losing my interest and desire to go to dance, theatre, and concerts, particularly in large venues like the Chan. But when I am invited by Marc Destrubé to attend one of the house concerts for either La Modestina (early baroque) or the Microcosmos Quartet (music of the 20th and 21st century) I go. And I am accompanied by my graphic designer friend Graham Walker.
There is something about listening to music right in front of you in an intimate place which includes food and drink and being able to meet new people.
The trio included a very tall younger man, Abraham Ross, I had never seen before who played the harpsichord.
It is almost impossible for me to understand how time has passed by. I first met Destrubé in 1991.
