I forgot my camera. Bummer.

The New York Philharmonic played at Central Park again last night. The weather was absolutely perfect & the music (& admittedly the conversation that we had throughout) was great. The line up:
.
Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 (Lang Lang, Piano - Check out his bio. Amazng.)
Beethoven: Symphony No. 4
Sibelius: Finlandia
.
Julia & Eric came with us, in addition to Mike's old mission companion + wife from Boliva (who he just happened to run into at the temple last week- random). I told Julia that it's nights like these that make me really love the city, make me really happy to be a New Yorker & to call it home. Just the simple fact that 60,000+ people came out to the park to picnic, hang out with friends & listen to classical music was cool. Oh- & the fireworks at the end beat any 4th of July festivities I've ever seen.

PS- I want a grand piano in my apartment. I think maybe that means I need a new apartment. And maybe a really big bonus this year.

How fun! You DO have some especially unique opportunities living where you do.....I love Finlandia, and can't imagine hearing it in a more perfect place than Central Park...with friends. How is the sound in such a large setting?
It was so much fun. Too bad they only do two a year-- I can't wait for next year.
That really is amazing to just have the greatest musicians in the world playing in the park where anyone can go hear. Very cool.
What a perfect evening. I can just imagine it.
How fun! A friend of mine went back to work and is in NYC training this week & I was chatting with her as she walked back to her hotel from the concert and I was wondering if you were there.
