The Music of John Wiliams

With her growing interest in music and movies, Marina has developed an appreciation for the music written by John Williams. His birthday was yesterday, so the symphony had a concert featuring his music. When Marina heard about it she wanted to go. So I got the tickets. However, when the music list came out, we were both a bit disappointed, very little music we were familiar with was on the list.

We arrived at the concert hall early and since it was a cold night, we ordered chai lattes to drink. Our seats were near the stage by the percussion section. Before the concert began, she played on her phone.

Once the music started, Marina did a good job of paying attention to the performance. She admitted she enjoyed some of the music, even if it wasn’t familiar to her. At intermission we talked to a couple who were sitting near us.

After the concert was over we were able to get home quickly. I was proud of how Marina behaved despite not getting quite what she was expecting.
