At the end of a very busy week, and having travelled hither and yon, it was great to sit back and let the soul relax tonight. The venue was the Glad Tidings Tabernacle, which also serves as the home to the Sudbury Symphony Orchestra.
Tonight, the SSO opened its 35th season with a concert featuring music by Beethoven (Symphony number 7: here's a taste) and Brahms (Piano Concerto number 1: here's the first movement) featuring Peter Longworth on piano.
Music has a wonderful capacity to calm the nerves of those who may otherwise have experienced a less-than-restful day, so this was a very welcome respite. Combine this with the fact that more and more of the regular patrons at these concerts are known to me, and this turns instantly into an opportunity to catch up with a number of people who haven't seen one another for a number of months.
It's all very good for the soul.
