We spent the day moving young cellists around Carnegie Hall. Over 170 of them were on stage for the last few Suzuki songs. It was a surreal experience, to see so many young cellists playing together, but then there were over 750 violinist. Incredible. Incredible, too, was the precise organization that it took to make it happen. Row organizations and timing and parent drop-off and pick-up, figuring out who was playing what and where they would be seated for it, practicing the review pieces so that it would sound as good as it did. There were many arts going on today, some musical and some logistical.
And then afterwards we hung out with some of the other teachers, meeting and mingling. And because it was a beautiful day, we went for a walk in the park. Passing by a baseball game under a beautiful sky with the Manhattan buildings looming, never too far away.
