Lots going on here at David and Rachael's, (Marie's son, but my "extra" son) but with the girls in Jr and Sr High, and them both working, life is a little crazy.
Nevertheless, their church is sponsoring a series of concerts that are free to local school classes.
Today, the pianist was a man named Destiny Battles. He's local to Philadelphia, but has played concerts worldwide.
He interacted with the kids really well, playing short pieces and then asking them questions about how the music made them feel, or the differences between the selections. He told things about the composers, too. The overall message was, "never give up."
I think there were five different classes there. I was amazed at how attentive they were to a type of music that most elementary school children these days probably don't hear too often.
Lots of cooking and other chores going on. It's always a little nuts with six people in a very small house, but good times.

sounds like a nice event. Nice way to introduce kids to music they might not normally hear
