Boston Culture

Wednesday I came by bus from New Haven to New Hampshire to visit Mom and Dad.  Trees everywhere are popping out in spring green colors, Dogwood and Flowering Crab have mounds of brightly colored flowers.  Yesterday we traveled with a group to Boston for the day.   
       We attended a rehearsal for the Boston Symphony Orchestra.at their lovely old Symphony Hall. The first piece was a Debussy, 2 harps and 5 double basses were needed in the string section.  The principle flutist was wonderful.
       Stage hands were busy afterwards setting up for the Mozart Piano Concerto.  Many chairs were moved and a grand piano was rolled out to center stage.  The young man who played was an excellent pianist.  The last piece was Beethoven's 6th, the Pastorale.  Oh my, was that a magnificent performance !   Such beautiful music.

No photos from Boston, I will post photos of trees bursting out in Spring.  A Box Elder, and the neighbor's tree that attract birds.
