Boston Phil concert report

On Sunday, February 25, there was a field trip to
see the Boston Philharmonic up in Boston at Sanders Theater at Harvard University. It was a wonderful
experience going to see them play. The trip was also a lot of fun! We ate
Subway on the way and nuts on the way back! Thanks to Community MusicWorks. We
also learned about the music that was going to be performed, thanks to Jesse
Holstein. The soloist, Stefan Jackiw, was a wonderful violinist. It was a nice
sight seeing him play and giving all of himself to the music. His way of
playing was just… astounding. He must practice a lot! It was nice to see
how the orchestra worked as one, and each contributed to make the music be
projected as best as possible. They make the playing seem so effortless, but
maybe that is because they have practiced a lot.

Later on, we met with the conductor
and took pictures with him. It was definitely one of the best trips I have
attended. I loved it…
