We had a spontaneous adventure this past Wednesday - an evening at the Philadephia Orchestra for FREE! The orchestra was scheduled for the opening concert at Carnegie Hall this season, but due to the union at the hall being on strike, the concert was cancelled. So...they decided to offer a free and family-oriented concert in Philly instead. The concert was announced 6 or 7 hours prior to the performance time and with twitter, facebook and emails going around like wild fire the hall was jam packed with fans! We were thrilled to be a part of such an appreciative audience, and so excited to introduce our girls to the orchestra for the first time!
They played excerpts of excellent works, including Bolero, Don Giovanni and more! Meredith was enthralled and hasn't stopped talking about it.
Friends took this family photo of us right after the performance...
...8pm and these sleepy girls are ready for bed!
