Concert!

My mom is always someone who makes things happen. This doesn't change despite living in another country. She went to a concert about 6 weeks ago and was chatting with the soprano afterward. She said, "Why don't we put together some music and have a concert?" So that's exactly what they did! The pianist was incredible and had just turned 19.

My mom was impressed because not only was the soprano a fantastic singer, she also sews her performing outfits! (We grew up in a household that sewed...especially for Halloween or Christmas outfits or formal dances).

The kids liked the concert, which took place last night in a small art gallery, because it was short (30 minutes) and each piece was just a few minutes long. We had sparkly drinks beforehand and a reception at my mom's apartment afterwards. That also sweetened the deal.
