I have listened to classical my entire life and since I started college I have fallen in love with it. I use classical as my ADD medication. When I study I go to Pandora and click on “Violin Features”, the composers bring my head into a place where I can sit for hours and not need to fidget. On Valentine’s Day I went to my first classical concert. The concert was held in the McCarthy Arts Center, St. Michael's College. Natasha Koval-Paden played an all-Chopin program as it was the Polish composer's 200th birthday. Proceeds benefit the King Street Center. The concert was beautiful and really tapped into the limbic brain. The emotions that Koval-Paden could make you experience with the flick of her finger made her feel like a puppeteer and the hearts of her audients martinets. I loved the concert and can’t wait to go to my next classical concert, perhaps the Vermont Symphony Orchestra.
Hey James,
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful piece of music.
I say this as a classically trained violin player.
Thanks for sharing.
