This past Friday, I went to hear the LA Philharmonic and Emmanuel Ax play Brahms’ First Piano Concerto. Or, that’s what my ticket said. In my own stint working for a major symphony orchestra (the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, circa 2011-2012), I learned very well that naming each concert is a bit of an art. If Beethoven’s Fifth will be performed, you’d better believe that concert is going to be called “Beethoven’s Fifth!” Unless of course, say, Yo-Yo Ma is performing some random cello sonata just before intermission. Then the concert might get advertised as “Yo-Yo Ma Plays Whoever,” famous symphony be damned.

As having fathered five sons -1980-1992- I know that it means to be and to create a fan. Spent a couple hours on YouTube January 17 with Rev. Dr. King's "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence" speech from April, 1967.
I would pay to listen to the cleaning crews at that hall!
