anticipation

the soft breathing of the audience
the acoustically enhanced cough from the balcony
coats, scarves, gloves being draped over the backs of seats
the golden filtered light of the hall
the oak floor of the stage
soaring ceilings
the love of art
the tuxedoed men
the elegantly coiffed women
the shine of polished wood and arched bow
the sound of concert A followed by E, D, G, and C
the crisp entrance of the soloist
the adjusting of the piano bench......

Tonight: The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and Jeremy Denk, pianist.
Oh yeah.

my favorite part? The blaring fire alarm, flashing lights, and loud-speaker lady repeating "There has been a fire reported in the building...There has been a fire reported in the building...Please exit the building..."

Oh yeah - and the concert was good too *wink
