A Night of Culture

Both Max and Delaney had concerts on Thursday night.  Max started the evening off with the Jefferson School 3rd and 4th grade recorder recital.  I remember also playing the recorder in music class at Jefferson but do not remember having a big recital, but my mother assures me that, yes, she in fact does remember having to attend my recorder recital.  The surprise of the night was my daughter's  Morton Junior High Orchestra Recital with the Boston String Quartet.  I was going into it with not the greatest of attitudes because of the $10 admission for a middle school concert, but I was quickly won over by the amazing Boston String Quartet and it was cool to see the kids playing along.  Also the music wasn't the typical classical music but rock and pop music that had been arranged for an orchestra.  So next year I will gladly pay the $10 for a Junior High Orchestra concert with the Boston String Quartet, and heck it's on the same night why don't you just throw the 3rd and 4th grade recorderists in there while your at it.
