Concert at Brightview Great Falls

Our eventful concert took place today on a frigid snowy day although the employees welcomed us warmly. But despite this, and our few performers, we managed to make more seniors chuckle and clap. The performance kicked off with “Sunshower,” a sunny and bright piece ironic to the weather. Next, there were a few Christmas songs to make up for the Christmas and New Year we missed, as well as Concertino in G major, which was slow at first, but then transformed into quick notes. Sonata in A minor, played by the oboe, was a beautiful somber piece until it turned into a quick technical ending. Le Rappel des Oiseaux was filled with joy and playfulness as well as a calming atmosphere. The Caprice as well as another piece in E minor gave a sense of motion and liveliness, as well as intricate melodies. The concert concluded with a piece in A minor which was similar to the workings of a concerto, some parts slower than others. Once more our musicians brought joy into the seniors’ afternoon.
