This year, one of my classes is orchestra, i can't even tell you how much i missed it! so our class went on a field trip Thursday to the Kimmel center to watch the philadelphia orchestra practice. It was...breath taking. We found out they would be doing work on a concerto with a soloist. We were all very excited to see that, and not to be stereotypical, but we were expecting to see an older man, possibly asian, not trying to be racist either!

Their first song was quite lovely, the second violins seemed to be struggling ever so slightly, but it my book it was top notch. Those musicians are just awesome. then... the soloist came out. I took one look at the curly haired young man in gray jeans, and long white sleeve shirt, and turned to my friend and said "oh, hes precious!" that was before i had even see a close up, i also didn't have my glasses on.. anyway though, he shook hands with the conductor and prepared to play. he stared down, looked to the crowd, and raised his instrument. He was captivating, passionate, and inspiring. I was in complete awe. Theres not much more to say. I say hes beautiful not because of his looks, but his music, and clear passion for it, He seemed like nothing else mattered in that moment, just the bow on the strings.
