This evening the Boy’s youth orchestra had a concert at the Peace Center — the premier performance space in Greenville. It’s where we saw Fiddler on the Roof, Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, and The Sound of Music, among other shows. Yo Yo Ma is playing there in a month.
During the second piece, E had a solo: “a mournful trombone” according to the program notes.
K teared up to hear what he’s been working on for weeks in its full context. I might have experienced a touch of dampness as well.
