Ohio

Unni and her ensemble rolled into beautiful Marietta, Ohio located on the banks of the Ohio River. It’s always nice when the ensemble has a chance to enjoy aspects of the community. Unni had time to take in the view at the river one sunny afternoon.

Upon meeting the Ensemble in Cleveland, I was first taken by the engaging nature of their collective personality. Despite the notable unique character of each member, they as individuals seemed to complement each other in a quiet, confident way. They interacted with a level assumption and ease that only close friends know.

We spent the week of September 20th in Sandusky, Ohio. It was sunny and warm; we were lucky to have such nice weather in the middle of September.

I visited the same schools and communities 6 months before with Agatsuma. I am back and glad to see the familiar faces again. The students, teachers and community people are just as I remembered—hospitable, thoughtful and appreciative.
