Date Night: Joshua Bell, Virtuoso


Last October I happened upon the Orlando Philharmonic's website for some children's programs they were offering. This was just before Sagan and we wanted to take Ellie to the symphony before we couldn't. So as I was booking for a November event I saw that Joshua Bell (The Red Violin) was going to perform with the Orlando Philharmonic March 22.

I bought 2 of the best seats in the house. 3rd row center! After nearly 5 months of waiting and staring at our tickets it is time.

I just ache watching him perform. The music is ripped from him. So lovely.

Fred and I are having a date. How nice! Our friends daughter (whom I had the pleasure to teach in 5th grade) will be babysitting the girls. We hope that she survives! Thank you Mur Mur!

We plan to go have sushi on Church Street and then get to the theater early.

If you have not heard of Joshua Bell. Take a listen. Weeping is allowed. Ave Maria.
