Today I went to the symphony - "what?" you say, "does Fairbanks have a symphony?" Why yes it does. My dear friend Eva plays in the Fairbanks Symphony and asked me earlier this week if I'd like to come see their upcoming concert (today). I decided to go because a) I could use a little culture and b) Eva is super awesome and it's always more interesting when there is someone you know performing.
So like I said I went to support a friend and take in some local culture and I was totally blown away - totally overwhelmed. It was amazing! The concert hall is beautiful. The musicians were brilliant and they had this guest performer, Cellist - Zuill Bailey, who was beyond awesome. Words can't explain, so if you're curious check out his website.

And to answer your questions: yes, he played this piece (btw - one of my favorites, I think I cried) AND yes, he is even more gorgeous in person - you should see him play it was QUITE the experience! If you can't tell, I'm a little bit in love.
Thank you Eva! I had an awesome experience.
I checked out his web site... and WOW what can I say beautiful to look at beautiful to hear... Thanks for sharing. I wish I had been there to go with you!!!
