My original plan for Equus was to go on September 18th. However, it was a hot ticket, and given my twin proclivities for a) showing up at the last moment and b) not planning ahead, I got shut out at the box office. Having already paid for Grand Center parking I cast about for an alternative for the evening. I decided to walk up the road to the Symphony. I had no idea what was there.
What I found was Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major. On the program as featured soloist was Joshua Bell, who evidently is a big deal amongst people who know who the big deals in classical music are. As I've stated before, I am not one of those people, but it sounded pretty good to me.
So what could have been a wash-out of an evening was converted into an enjoyable new experience. The list proves it worth again. Chalk one up for openness to adventure, and what may come.
