Music is part of our lives whether we realize it or not‚ whether we actively participate in it or not‚ whether we appreciate its power or not. This is‚ in fact‚ the real power of music ? that it can affect us whether we are aware of it or not. We need only think of the music heard on the soundtrack of most movies.

I walked into Saenger theatre‚ unsure of what to expect from the program as it was my first concert. I must say‚ I was well pleased by how the ladies at the front desk attended to us and everyone else when we went to purchase our tickets (I was there with two friends).
