Today Enso 2007 touched down in Atherton. I was invited as a featured speaker and performer for a special joint meeting of the San Francisco Symphony's Mid-Peninsula League and Upper League. When I arrived at the gates, traffic was being carefully directed for over 80 members who had RSVPed for the event and were not deterred by the heavy rain. The event took place in a magnificent ballroom of the private home of Sherry Burke and Dr. Robert Wolf, parents of Cheryl Burke, the 2 time Dancing With the Stars Champion. I performed classical and jazz selections and shared the on-going story of Around the World in A Single Stroke. Performing for this audience with their vast knowledge and love of classical music was thrilling. The audience appreciated so many nuances of the musical dimension of Enso 2007. An exquisite lunch was served at the conclusion of my performance.

I was deeply touched by Peggy Chamberlain, President of the Mid-Peninsula League of the San Francisco Symphony who shared that she chose the speaker for today carefully as this event only takes places once every two years! "When I saw Drue perform for the Peninsula Volunteers I said I must nab her for the League." Twila Woods added "We have been following Drue since she was at Stanford. So much talent in one body! And I know today we are only seeing a fraction of it." Nancy Greenbach, Co-Chair of the PV Diamond Jubilee and Atherton Dames Past President said she felt my presentation deeply resonated with her. A thought-provoking interactive conversation about the Enso in the context of Classical music commenced.
