How totally enjoyable the concerts have been all year . . . I don't remember leaving one on such a high as I did this afternoon. The audience was totally engaged, including a young boy in the balcony across from me who stood and listened, totally absorbed. A wonderful sight !

It is such an unusual series and one of the greatest pleasures in my life: to sit quietly: no extraneous unordered beeps or squeaks and cacophony.

So rare these days...I always feel a lot better after a MM concert. Necessary R&R.
