This morning's concert with the Israel Camerata Jerusalem Orchestra at the Tel Aviv Museum deepened a conviction I've been developing: that attending live performances is one of the best non-work things I can do with my time.
The point about Harlap hearing his own work alongside Mendelssohn and Schumann is beautifl. Most ppl dont realize how rare that moment is for contemporary composers. I went to a similiar chamber concert last year and the Israeli piece was the most direct emotionally even tho it wasnt the "big name". Live music creates those unplanned connections.

And thank you for relating this experience. It was as if I was there too!
Thank you, Stephen! I’m glad you felt it!
