Sunday Concerts


Last Sunday I attended three concerts:
Gene Lowry, jazz pianist, at the Broadway United Methodist Church; the Youth Symphony of Kansas City (granddaughter Rosie was one of the violinists); and Ruslan Biryukov, Cellist, at the Mu Phi Epsilon Musicale. Nothing but classical music at the last two events. I was trying to be very open-minded, as to which I really enjoyed the most. It was the jazz. My wife tells me that classical music is by far the best. I admit that by studying and listening to more classical music, you would enjoy it more. But for an older person, you might spend the rest of your life, trying to fully appreciate the classical. Is it worth it? Music, through listening and participation, should bring you great joy and comfort.
