So Jodie and I went to the KSU orchestra concert tonight. Couple of thoughts. First of all, I hadn’t really realized that I haven’t actually sat and listened to a concert like that since college. When the strings started warming up, I realized just how much I really missed it. The orchestra really sounded good (except for the violinist behind Anna). The Bach was a wonderful descent into counterpoint, and I found myself sitting there, absorbed in the sound. The Schubert was nice, and I really enjoyed the final piece. I couldn’t help but notice that the audience was well trained, knowing when to applaud and not, etc.. It’s really great to be in a city where we can go to concerts (for free) on a weeknight without having to make a huge deal of it. Dr. Brown would be proud. I couldn’t help but sit and notice "stylistic characteristics" throughout the whole concert. Thanks to Anna for inviting us, Jodie and I are so excited to keep going to stuff!
