Fabio Giudice just shared two more pictures from 2019 CMSA. Here we have the whole Mandocello section about to walk on stage.

Cello Power!!! Thanks, Fabio!!!
I was part of the Octave section, it was a lot of fun.
Especially since we got to host the convention this year :)
Fabio inspired us to play "musically" rather than struggle to get all the notes (which a few of us could not) in rapid 16th runs. He provided carefully worked reduced parts for those of us who found one of the pieces a bit beyond our skill level. Besides being a master player and teacher, he was a lovable character as well.
He recorded a mock-serious plea for my wife to but me a liuto cantabile. It must have been very amusing because she is still laughing. (And yeah, ...no liuto.)
