To compliment my previous post, the youth in classical music is most definitely laying the foundation for a prosperous future in classical music.
In the dress rehearsal prior to this afternoons concert, many of the pieces seemed to be lack energy, precision, and clarity. The ensemble trudged through the rehearsal knowing that the performance was less than an hour away. We predicted a mediocre performance for the afternoon, but were pleasantly surprised.
These young people took the stage and delivered a wonderful concert and displayed professionalism. The group focused its energy on the music and produced fantastic music, well worth the $8 admission. It is with youth like this and performances like this that make me, at least, feel much more at ease about the future of classical music.
