We went to the University Hall again at Nottingham Trent University today.
On Monday evening we went to a gospel celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. day.
This afternoon (Wednesday) we went to a free lunchtime concert. The lunchtime concerts give students from the University the chance to play on front of a live audience.
This is Elissa playing - Meditation from Thais for Violin (accompanied by piano) by Jules Massenet
I'm not a classical music / opera aficionado but I did recognise the tune !
Shoot on my little Sony RX100VII , I had to crop the right hand side of the frame to remove a dominant music stand !
There are sometimes free recitals in the chapter house at Lincoln Cathedral. I suppose if it’s something you don’t like, if you haven’t paid, it’s not so bad. I’m sure it was enjoyable & you got a lovely portrait.
Amazing close up shot. Very sharp and focused. Being present at a concert is so very different than watching something like this on tv. Even the sound of the music is more special. The young lady looks very talented. I'm sure she will love this picture.
Lovely shot. Meditation from Thais is an amazing piece. I first heard it when my stepmom (2nd chair violinist w/Columbus Symphony) played it at my stepsister's wedding, while recovering from lymph node cancer. It was played at my stepmom's memorial service when she passed away, at my dad's when he passed away back in 2017, and I have it set to be played at my service when I die as well. An amazing piece.
Thank you for the follow, Phil. I am returning the favor.
I was surprised to read in your commentary about a gospel celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. in Great Britain. I had no idea that he had an influence across the pond.
