At the Tonhalle.

Tonight I went to a concert at the Tonhalle (Orchestra Hall), thanks to my dear sisters who got me a gift certificate when I moved here. I'm running out of time to use it, so I grabbed the chance to attend a concert. It was Schumann's Symphony Nr. 4 and Dvorák's Symphony Nr. 8, which were both truly fantastic. They were conducted by Kurt Masur, who is apparently a very famous and old (86!) German conductor. He has advancing Parkinson's and conducts from a wheelchair, but you can tell that he still puts his heart in to conducting. In fact, there were a few times he was so in to it that I think I could hear him singing along! It was a great concert- I definitely got chills during the Symphony Nr. 8. Makes me miss playing my horn!

Fall is still holding on...

...but I'm wearing my winter jacket.
