## Notes

It's always fun to see these two performers, and seeing them together is an extra special treat!

Stanley might have experienced a few senior moments while relating his between song stories, but his playing is as amazingly fleet and strong as ever. Catch him now while you can!

And Hiromi is the most joyful performer ever: it's impossible not to be lifted up by the way she dances across the piano.

I feel a little guilty admitting that I wanted more from this show: 80 minutes of bliss just wasn't quite enough to satisfy my greedy little soul. Guess I'll have to go see them again the next time they come around!

Jim Harrington posted an enthusiastic [review](https://www.marinij.com/2024/09/06/review-acclaimed-arts-organization-kicks-off-new-season-in-high-style/) of Thursday's show, which seemed to have very nearly the same setlist as tonight.
