A remarkable evening at Senn High School, listening to an open rehearsal of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago accompanied by Yo-Yo Ma. They played Dvorak's Cello Concerto in B Minor, then practiced the first movement of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony with Yo-Yo Ma providing guidance and instruction. Music is an exotic foreign land to me: I love it and am fascinated by it, but i do not speak the language. Tonight felt like getting a passport to that land and being invited into the natives' homes. It was wonderful!

This was a community event and it was great to see lots of children there.
This young boy of about 12 had the most wonderful hair. |
