beautiful
Yesterday I was lucky enough to get to see our University choir perform Beethoven’s ninth symphony, the “Ode to Joy” with the NJ Symphony. I don’t get to go to classical concerts or even any concerts as much as I’d like, and when I do I always swear I am going to go more often. Yesterday was no exception — in fact, it was one of the most beautiful concerts I have ever attended. I had never had the chance to see this piece be performed live before and it just blew me away, even from the third tier of the enormous, gorgeous concert hall. I know very little about classical or Beethoven, but a deaf man knew what joy sounded like and he captured it, giving me chills and tears at the very same time.
