Itzak Perlman Concert, 2014

In November, Moo and I went to see Itzhak Perlman perform at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.



He was amazing.  I lifted the above picture from the internet, because the taking of pictures was strictly forbidden, and I was not going to disobey Mr. Perlman. ;)

All I have are some grainy pictures of Moo and I in the audience before the concert began, and also with some friends that we ran into in the lobby before the show.  Those will have to serve as visual reminders that WE WERE THERE! 




What a special privilege it was to sit and listen to this man work his magic--yes, that word is intentionally used--on those strings.  His big, meaty hands and sausage-like fingers could not operate such a delicate instrument in such a sublime manner absent a good amount of magic...or fairydust, at the least.  We were not alone in feeling a sense of wonder and joy while in the presence of such a talented violinist.
