Symphony Night

One last full day of music in Boston: in the morning we toured The New England Conservatory of Music and in the evening went with Gloria to the Boston Symphony Orchestra.


Orchestra Hall is a beautiful, ornate auditorium...

















with sculptures of gorgeous nude men gazing down from above--Greek gods, we think.


































We sat in the second balcony, far above the musicians. The acoustics are great, with every instrument clear, and the entire orchestra playing perfectly as one.




The BSO is performing the entire set of Beethoven symphonies this season; we heard the 3rd (Eroica) and the 4th.

















Thank you Gloria for our wonderful two weeks in your elegant, cozy home.

    Can you imagine performing there? Or performing at that level, for that matter? It makes me feel very still inside, just thinking of it.
