Carnegie Hall

The violin performance that our class went to see at Carnegie Hall was an overall thrilling experience. The theater was beautiful and the stage was set up in a refreshingly organized manner. I was a little bit bored during the first act of the show and was anxiously anticipating hearing the Four Seasons during the intermission. The waiting paid off and I ended up highly enjoying the entire second act. I particularly enjoyed when the lead violinist interacted with the other musicians. The connection between them was beautiful. I also appreciated how in sync all of the instruments were played. Sally and I were wondering why there were so many encores. We were also confused as to why the lead violinist kept exiting the stage and then coming back. We felt that it was an overdone attempt to get more attention and applause. Overall, this was a great performance to witness!
