Good thing my daughter knows her classics
... or I'd probably never actually get to the orchestra.
Brought the slightly-less-little one to the NAC Saturday to hear the orchestra do a young peoples' concert—theme was 'middle Europe', so it's Bartok, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, some folk pieces.
If it weren't for my daughter (really, more my wife, who schedules these things) I'd probably never actually see an orchestra live. Apart from this thing, it's been something like five months now since I out to such a thing. And that's probably better than average, of late.
It was pretty good. Pinchas Zukerman actually came out, did a few things. Quite got into it... Only drawback to the whole episode: my daughter hissing with hauteur and embarrassment:
'Dad! They don't do that lighter thing here!'
Yeah yeah, okay. Obvious joke. Apologies. It's Monday. Still warming up.
