By some miracle, I finished work on-time today and Lily and I went to the symphony while Lydia and Mary went to fall fest with their friend Lizzy and her mom, and Josie watched the little kids.
At the symphony, Nemanja Radulovic was performing. He was supposed to play khachaturian violin concerto no. 2 and Lily was particularly excited to hear that piece, but some of the orchestra members got Covid and/or were exposed to it, so they had to switch the piece to Thaikovsky’s violin concerto, which is one of my favorite violin pieces.
Lily and I were blown away by both the violinist and the young French conductor. They both were so expressive and playful and stood close to each other and looked each other in the eyes while they seeming danced together through segments of the song. Nemanja had the greatest facial expressions as he smiled or expressed other emotions with his music. And the actual music was incredible. He also did a Paganini encore which blew away the audience. He had multiple standing ovations.
I love going on dates with my sweetheart and I’m so grateful she arranged this outing for us!
