This morning we attended the New York Philharmonic across the street at Lincoln Center. We currently are serving on what is called the "Museum" shift at the Temple. Which means we are serving the 3:00-10:30pm shift which enables us to go to all the museums, NYC sites, etc in the morning. June 1 we will go to what is called the "Show" shift. We will serve from 9:00am-4:00pm, and will be able to attend the plays, shows and other Broadway events since we will be free at night.
At the Philharmonic this morning they were holding an 'Open Rehearsal' fine tuning for their live performance this evening. The tickets for these Open Rehearsals are substantially lower. Stopping and starting for corrections the conductors wants to make happen occasionally happened.
We had great seats, and it was really enjoyable. We will be back many more times.
It was fun to see what they actually do during a rehearsal and the interaction that goes on between the musicians. The sound was incredible. These are the best of the best for their instruments.
We came outside, and it was snowing! We walked across the street back to our apartment and got ready for another great day in the Temple. We also met a family from Mesa. As usual, their kids attended Mountain View; and we knew a ton of the same families. Spring is supposed to be in a day or two. We'll see. We love New York City and serving in the Temple.
