A few months back we bought tickets to the Philharmonic's youth series of concerts. The first one is this weekend, featuring the music of Mendelssohn:
When the young Felix Mendelssohn sets out on his first adventure to Scotland, his beloved sister Fanny is heartbroken that she has to stay home. Fanny breathlessly awaits Felix's letters, which sometimes include lines of new music. And through his music -- inspired by crumbling castles, lively bagpipes, violent ocean waves, and the enchanted Fingal's Cave -- Fanny is transported to her brother's side. If we really listen, we get to go to these mystical lands, too.

What fun! The Real Nana took Martha & me to Leonard Bernstein's "Music for Young People" Sunday matinee concerts ... a long time ago.
