Symphony Night


 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.

  1. I attended a few piano concerts like that in New York 20 years ago. I love the live sounds in the spot
