Hot Symphony Nights

There’s a line in the show One Day (it’s not in the book) that I love so much that I made Josh replay it over and over again so I could write it down in my bullet journal. “You did it. You said you were going to do it. You did it.”

Before the twins left for college, Josh and I made a list of things we wanted to do to distract ourselves from the fact we had an empty nest. And while we accomplished only one item on the list (oh – sorry, two — I also had “drink a Bellini,” and we had those for Pesach), we chose a great one. We started to go to the symphony this spring.

We were gifted Baltimore Symphony Orchestra tickets a few times through my workplace, and every time we walk into the music hall, I think, “You said you were going to do it. You did it.”

The best performance was Jonathon Heyward conducting Shostakovich Symphony No. 8. We’re going all in with a season pass for next year, and the season pass gets you access to their online streaming productions, too. I cannot wait. I did it.
