Boston Music Week

Well it's not really Boston Music Week, but I went to two classical music concerts and listened to a lot of music on my iPhone… so for me its music week.

The first concert was Sunday.  We saw the Handle and Hydn Society, featuring Eliya's brother Guy playing the cello at Symphony Hall.  The concert, titled "Mozart: A Musical Journey" naturally featured several different pieces composed by Mozart such as Eine kleine Nachtmusik. 

The second concert was at the New England Conservatory.  A giant orchestra played Stravinsky's Petrushka and Dvorak's 9th symphony.  Was really good!

Now maybe more interesting than the actual concert was how I heard about it. Meetup, a great website whose motto is: we're tired of everything being online and that our lives revolve around the screen and the fact that we must be connected 24/7.  The idea of the site is that you can create a group, or 'meetup' with any subject in mind and have people in your area meet up with you and partake in that activity.  So, for example, if you like bugs you just create a bugs meetup and anyone who's into that joins the group and meets up at least once a month. Check out which Meetup groups we're part of: Eliya, Yarin.
