Cleveland

I visited Cleveland  last weekend.

I  took a lesson from Mr. Sachs who is a principal trumpet player of Cleveland Orchestra and listened to a concert there.

Severance Hall is a home of Cleveland Orchestra.

A Japanese girl Rena who has been studying violin in cleveland picked me up at the airport and drove me to the hall.

I listened to Dvorak's opera rehearsal there .

It's really beautiful hall and the acoustics are amazing....

Of course orchestra is fabulous.

Also decoration of ceiling and walls are gorgeous like rococo.

I felt rich.

Next day, I listened to a concert.

They played 

◆Schubert: Andante in B minor from Symphonic Fragments, D.936A

◆Bartok: The Miraculous Mandarin

◆Bartok: Viola Concerto (Kim Kashkashian, viola)

◆J.Strauss Jr: Emperor Waltz

That was fantastic!
