Hilary Hahn

Sunday we saw Hilary Hahn perform at the Alys Stephens Center. Normally I wouldn’t pay $100+ to see a violinist, but since Chris is a Catalyst member we got a discounted ticket plus one free. The seats were great, about 12 rows back in the center. And we sat next to one of Chris’ Flickr peeps (small world!).
I’m the first to admit that I do not have sophisticated taste in classical music. Art, yes. Classical music, no. I like pretty, happy classical music. Nothing dark, overly dramatic.. you get the picture. I swear the first few songs that Hilary performed made me feel like I was listening to the soundtrack of a holocaust movie. I hated it. The pianist was hysterical.. very dramatic and had an evil look in her eye. Luckily Chris agreed and we left at Intermission!
