I went to the Cleveland Orchestra's performance of Shostakovitch Symphony No. 5 with Alena, Parents, Katie, and Jackson.
It was Jackon's first time going to a classical music concert, and he was quite impressed, especially by the dynamic range that cannot yet be recreated by modern sound systems. We also talked a lot about how music can invoke similar mental images in different people, and what that says about us as thinking beings.
After the concert, Jackson made friends with the guy sitting next to us, and we met up in little italy to talk a bit longer. The guy was was very, and seemed to know everyone we came across.
