This weekend, I went to see the Minnesota Orchestra play a piece by contemporary American composer Adolphus Hailstork, a cello concerto by Robert Schumann, and Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3, aka The Scottish Symphony. I like going to concerts and haven’t been in a long time. I’m not a special fan of any of these composers but wanted to see
I, too, have no idea how to write about music in any meaningful or critical way beyond "Sounds make brain feel good".
But I also miss classical music and big wind ensembles. The actual audio experience, yes, but also something about watching conductors and playing together with a group of like-minded teens with very little regard for what we were even playing.
(Our go-to band movie was Mr. Holland's Opus. Pretty sure we watched that at least once per year.)
