Last night we attended a wonderful FREE concert at The Julliard School. Although we have attended other events at the school this one was unique. All of the pieces played were composed by one person. AND he was in the audience. To make it even more special - the composer is 99 years old and will be 100 this year. The performers were all Julliard faculty members. Can't ask for much better than that. Sorry we don't have any photos for this entry because they are not allowed in the theatre. There was a clarinetist, two violins, a viola, and a cello. I was able to enjoy the compositions more because their was a description of each piece written by the composer. He describes the musical image he wanted to present and the result was that it really worked.
On our bus ride to the concert we saw what we think is one of the first street fairs of the year. A Google search found a schedule and it lists fairs for at least one a weekend, more often two (one on Sat and one on Sun) for the next several months. We should have photos to post then.
