I just got home from the best orchestral performance that I've ever been on. The Manila Symphony Orchestra had a truly satisfying, wonderful and astounding performance at the BDO with Conductor____
who was very thorough and keen on talking to the audience; explaining every piece that they were about to play. You could really see his enthusiasm in giving a bit of the background per piece hence giving me a better listening aptitude and a happier experience. What really made me happy wasn't the fact that I went in for FREE but the pieces that they played as well as how they played it.
Being super sick that I am today/yesterday I kept asking myself why I didn't immediately go home to catch some sleep after that cold, bleak fora at the Kuniberta Hall. Instead of doing what I deemed was the right thing to do I, instead, went to Makati, went to the mall, went to a concert in school by some of my fellow Scholasticans from the Music Department, went to my friends house and went to that concert at BDO. (Please do not mind the fact that I did not have a change of clothes at all, still in my uniform and all that) As I was sitting down in the middle of the concert by the MSO at BDO I found the answer! It was because a few months ago I was begging my friends to come with me and watch the MSO concert with me when I saw their poster with the name of the composers: Strauss, Debussy Stravinsky and _____ I knew immediately that I had to see it however ticket prices discouraged me to come being the poor girl that I am now. However faith really finds it way and despite my sickness, despite my knowledge of it I was there; where I wanted to be all along. GALING! THAT IN ALL THINGS GOD MAY BE GLORIFIED!
P.S.
