The Charming Debut of Mrs. Riggs
I will be attending the Northfield all-district orchestra concert tonight to hear Sebastian perform on viola, amid a gym floor filled with student musicians ranging in age from fourth grade through 12th grade. It’s a fun concert because everyone, including the students themselves, gets to hear the progression in skills as the orchestras play in order from youngest to oldest.
In anticipation of tonight’s event, it seems fitting to quote from a Polk County Journal front page article about a different concert in January 1899 that included both band and orchestra pieces. I like how the writer took the time to philosophize about why it might be a good idea to conclude one’s long day by attending a concert. You just don’t see that kind of writing anymore.
