Last night I played in a benefit recital for Valentina Mengjesi, an
Albanian woman who lives around here and who has breast cancer but not
much money to pay for the medical expenses.  I have never met her, but
she is a friend of some friends of mine, Amela Koci (who is a very close
friend) and Tonda Sykes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The concert went well.  It consisted of the Corelli &lt;i&gt;Christmas
Concerto&lt;/i&gt;, Beethoven Op. 18/6 string quartet in B-flat, Vaughan
Williams &lt;i&gt;Rhosymedre&lt;/i&gt;, Mozart Horn Quintet K.407, and Saent-Saens
&lt;i&gt;Romance in F&lt;/i&gt;.  Brian Brown played horn, Arthur Busby and Amela
Koci played violins, Paul Palmer and I played viola, and Amirosh Issa
was the cellist.  At the end Amela&apos;s husband Gjergji joined Brian for a
horn duo, but I forgot the name of the composer.</description>
