The Symphony

I had waited for the symphony the entire semester. Music is by far my favorite art form. It can be appreciated by all and it can transcend cultures and language. Carnegie Hall was really fancy and I felt very under dressed as I saw women with fur coats and full faces of make-up. What surprised me about the theater was the bare stage, it was nothing like the ballet or the opera but then again, there is no need to see anything when listening to music it’s best when you just close your eyes and enjoy. I was expecting a large symphony with all types of instruments and was disappointed when i only saw string instruments. The music was nevertheless beautiful and my favorite part was watching the players play. Some were completely immersed in the moment and played with so much passion it was awe inspiring.
