Well, last weekend, I coaxed Josh into joining me for a Madison Symphony Orchestra performance featuring Peter Serkin, a well-known pianist, performing Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1. I personally had a great time at MSO's opening weekend and thoroughly enjoyed myself - I am a huge sucker for music events :) Other works on the program included Beethoven's incidental overture "Consecration of the House" and Richard Strauss' "Death and Transfiguration." For program notes, check out this link.
Another exciting part of the night - there was a silent auction on the 2nd floor of the Overture Center. Josh, always on the lookout for unique artwork, spotted something he liked. After a little encouragement (I had to physically force his hand to write his name and contact information on the bid sheet - just kidding), he put down a low bid and received a phone call the next day informing him that his bid won the piece - how cool is that?? Check back later and we'll post a picture of the artwork...
Let me guess, a painting of Ringo Starr?
