I've been to see orchestras play twice recently at the local concert hall. I got my tickets for £5 both times. I put on a nice little outfit and walked through the park and got a glass of wine and sat down with everyone else and experienced awe!! I am new to classical music and I always come out of it with my ears feeling refreshed. Everything I listen to (of all genres) after sitting through a performance or listening to a whole symphony sounds so much more alive
get in your comfy clothes. light a candle, get a little snack, hot tea. maybe a little za tbh. settle in like youre about to pop a movie on but then watch a youtube video of an orchestra play a symphony for an hour. be wowed!
bored, struggling, hasn’t caught you yet, poorly written, bad politics, or droll —don’t finish that book! read something else!
you can always come back to it later
