For the last two years I’ve hosted in my garden musicians from the Marrowstone Music camp. What a great experience it has been. The students come from all over the country and learn from leading professional musicians in a two week intensive performance and study session.
A Musical Bouquet |
This year I thought it would be fun to add a few musical details in honor of how hard they work.
I decided to use all white hydrangeas and white table cloths (to represent the paper music is written on) and then I added notes cut from black paper to the bouquets.
A Musical Tea Party |
Other details were in the cookies I made fudge shaped as whole notes and cookies shaped as different notes and then I placed them on paper with five lines across it so it would look like a musical score.

I set the tables with tea cut and plates. Then wait for my guests to arrive.

The weather was perfect warm and a little cloudy the fragrance of flowers accented the atmosphere.
Marrowstone Music Festival 2013 In The Garden |
The house and yard filled with young musicians bring with them the excitement of a performance.
Guests were seated everywhere on the porch and in the garden. I even ran out of chairs so I threw blankets on the ground.

Beautiful music began to fill the air as musicians began to stroll through the garden. Then each subsequent performance was placed in a different area and enhanced the one before it.

Cookies filled the plates and smiles were found on every face making for a great memory.
