This evening I got a phone call that there was a ticket to this evening’s symphony that was mine if I wanted it. Last week I had looked at program for this evening, though about going, but had not pursued it any further. The phone call came at 6pm, the symphony to start at 7:30pm. Somehow I managed to get the ticket, make it home, change into decent clothing, grab a quick bite to eat, and make it to my seat with time to spare.
I made it to my seat. Not just any seat, but a center 3rd row seat. It is from this seat that I listened with full attention to:
Brahms – Tragic Overture
Mozart – Concert for Flute & Harp
Beethoven – Symphony No. 5 in C minor
It was wonderful. I am trying to think of the perfect way to describe the evening and I am at a loss. Before I knew it two hours had slipped through my fingers and as I stood up with the crowd to give the performers a standing ovation I could not help but smile.
I do not know why the person who bought the ticket could not go or why exactly it ended up in my hand. All I know is that it was a perfect surprise and I was blessed.
