I went to the Symphony Friday night with my good friends David and Riley. It was a great combination of music and performances. The guest pianist was Conrad Tao. He played Beethoven's Concerto No. 4 for Piano and Orchestra. It's a complicated piece and it was amazing watching Tao's fingers scampering over the keyboard in a blur of melodic precision. I snapped his photo as he came back to the stage for a short encore piece.
This performance was at the Mesa Art Center so we had dinner before the performance in Mesa. We chose a new place that turned out to be very good and very eclectic. I'll write more about that experience in a future post.
I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today. I'm visiting a church I walked past many times but never visited before.

I attended a few piano concerts like that in New York 20 years ago. I love the live sounds in the spot
Sounds like you had a great evening.
Looks like a nice venue, and you were up close.
Sounds wonderful, Sharon.
Good food, good music...What a lovely evening!
I love piano concerts.
I am looking forward to the summer to see the outdoor concerts.
I am glad you had a great time.
How lovely! Thank you for bringing us along, Sharon. Aloha
Beethoven is always welcome.
