WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:

# 1. Post a blog 3 times a week (M, W & F) of at least 200 words. In your blogs you could:
-describe something you learned
-explain something that surprised you
-give an update about stuff you're working on
-explain how you solved a problem
-tell a cool story

Also include images, sounds or video from your project.

# 2. Respond thoughtfully to another blogger's posts on this site. Post 1 of these response-blogs per week (200 or more words each).

Each of you is expected to contribute to this blog--even if you're working with another senior or with a group.

I'm really looking forward to following your project via your postings! Have fun!

Cleveland Orchestra

Yesterday, I went with the Circle Arts Intensive down to Severance Hall to see a performance by the Cleveland Orchestra.  I've included a video of the 2nd piece they played, Haydn's Piano Concerto in D major.  The piano soloist that we saw perform this piece yesterday was Emanuel Ax, who is a Grammy winner, teaches at Juilliard, and according to Wikipedia "he is widely considered one of the greatest pianists of the 21st century." Obviously, he was extraordinarily talented and it was amazing to hear him play.  The other pieces we heard were "Guide to Strange Places" a modern piece by John Adams, and Beethoven's Symphony No.8 in F major.
