On a recent trip to
Manhattan from my Long Island home, I was worried about the snow showers
affecting my photo shoot of the exterior of a NYC landmark building. The train was noisy and a chill damp pervaded
the humor of the commuters. Disembarking
at Penn Station, I and my camera bag were pushed and jostled up the stairs to
the main corridor where I would exit to the further chaos of the city streets. All of a sudden I heard the magnificent
sounds of a string quartet playing Por
Una Cabeza. Immediately my mood
lifted as the unbelievably beautiful and poignant music filled the drab
space. The Hopkins Entertainment Group,
four wonderfully talented musicians, played enchanting strings to the delight
of weary commuters. As the music
transported me to an aesthetic place, I could only dream of listening to these
marvelous musicians play for hours! The
few minutes I took to stand in Penn Station and listen to such beauty stays
with me still.

ReplyDeletethat is absolutely such a wonderful experience - out of no where - in an out of the norm unexpected place drowning out the rumble of the trains and clatter of people's feet and roller wheels on the marble floor - hustling and bustling to their hurried destinations - an oasis of music :-)
