Day of Music

The symphony put on a free day of music today and I decided to take the kids, which felt sort of brave but I figured it was a great chance to try it out without laying down a bunch of cash. I knew we could leave quickly and never look back if somebody got out of line. (Side note: you never realize quite how loud a nursing baby can be until they are sucking it down during the opening bars of Debussy.)

And it turned out to be a huge success! In three and a half hours we saw chamber music, a choir, opera, flamenco, a trio of people playing toy instruments (surprisingly good) and the full symphony played three pieces. Not to mention the coloring and face painting. But far and away the best part was watching Little G listen to the symphony while sitting, literally, on the edge of her seat.
