Early Music Seminar in Barbaste, France
The voice class - happy, exhausted, slightly crazy and very enriched at the end of the seminar.
I am peeking and leaning behind our voice teacher, Adriana Fernández (middle),
To my left - an Israeli collegue that I was surprised to meet (Michal Okon)
with the colourful scarf (she suffered from the cold)
Drinking wine on the floor (do not forget that we are in France) - our accompanist (harpsichord)

My Sis (Tamar Drukker-Standring) and my little-big brother in law (Robin Standring)
On their wedding day (in case you didn’t guess).
Tamar wearing her “שמאטע” and holding a bouquet made by my mom.
Aren’t the gardens in England so green and beautiful? Oh, the bride is too (not green, beautiful).

Miriam’s Ear
Yes, yes. My ear. It is very important for a musician.
And it also features as a model for my husband’s jewellery. Click to see it “live”.
Next time I promise to brush my hair first... But at least it’s clean ;-)
BTW, I can move my ears, and so could my late aunt Hanneke Borensztajn-Tikotin.
