Concerts at the Kennedy Center

We’ve been to two concerts at the Kennedy Center since we returned from our trip to Europe. The first, conducted by Noseda, featured Leila Josefowicz playing Stravinsky’s Violin Concerto. The second was conducted by Sir Mark Elder and was a beautiful and interesting concert featuring three composers connected by World War I: Butterworth, Williams, and Ravel. Here’s the Washington Post review of this concert.

The Kennedy Center was also hosting a special exhibition of Cuban music, art, and drama while we were there.

The first concert was just two days after we returned and I think we still had not complely adjusted to the time change.

We ate at Founding Farmers and again had a great meal. We had time so we also split this delicious apple pie with ice cream.

A free concert featuring piano and percussion as part of the special celebration of Cuban art.

A 1953 Chrysler was the starting point for this sculpture on display.

At our monthly beer club gathering, we had just talked about tire companies and Firestone was mentioned as one of the major ones as we were all growing, which then led to memories of just how wide the whitewalls were back then. The Chrysler on display was a perfect example.
