Last night, the London Symphony Orchestra was playing a live outdoor concert in Trafalgar Square.
As Kelly and I are both former high school band geeks, we decided this would be a great thing to do together since we are not off galavanting around Europe on this half-term break.
The concert started at 6:30 pm, and we arrived in Trafalgar Square around 5:45 pm when it was already standing room only, and even a standing spot was hard to find! Perhaps the beautiful weather and the low admission price drew out so many people, as I am not sure that everyone there were really die hard instrumental music enthusiasts!
Oh and Denise, please note that BMW sponsors these events! Just another reason that your company is so amazing!
The Symphony on Stage
Some of the strings section - my favourite section because I was a Violin player during elementary and high school.
It was great to hear a symphony play, and an outdoor setting really does make this a unique experience. The musicians were fantastic, and even the LSO Young Musicians took part.
Music is something that I have always had in my life and I believe that playing an instrument and taking part in the Arts in school can add something special to one's life. But no matter whether you are an athlete, a book nerd, or artist, find someway to incorporate something enriching to your life. Even if it is just listening to a free concert of instrumental and orchestral music in a public square, something is better than nothing.
