When I arrived at the Karl Maesar building, I realized that even though I had studied for 5 years at BYU, and a couple of years right next door to the building, and had taken multiple tests at the testing center that was also right next door, that I had never stepped inside the Maesar building before. That was truly a "first" for me.
I climbed to the 3rd floor to the balcony of the lecture hall where the concert was going to be. I settled in my seat so I could see better to down below. The program indicated that we would be hearing Jean Sibelius' "String Quartet in D Minor, Op. 56" and David Balakrishnan's "Spider Dreams".
Before the concert started, we were told that this was a first for BYU when a string quartet also included a drummer. The drummer came in when the jazz portion of the concert started with Spider Dreams.
It was an incredible concert and it was great to see Sini-Tuulia in full action. What a talent! The other ladies and the drummer were excellent as well.
Sini-Tuulia is the blonde on the left.

Wow! Look how close you are! Was the music familiar to you? I love classical music especially when it is a little familiar. Thanks forcoming today. The pictures we took didn't turn out very well. I'll see if I can get a decent one out of the bunch.
I love how you are doing all these culture building activities!
The Maeser building is one of my favorites. I got ti go to church there one year. I'm glad you enjoyed the concert!
