Symphony Night at the Fulton
original watercolor musical motif
Bravo! Symphony Sophie
Sophie and I
are Symphony bound
it’s our first try
at a concert in town
the program is unique
and kinda’ profound
with Sibelius, Dvorak
and a new guy, Marquez
the theater is grand
Sophie gazed around
then sat herself down
and gave Maestro a hand
when the music began
a horn spoke up
next a woodwind or two
and wonder of wonders
the bass trombone crooned
when the strings joined in
the percussion said wait
you need our rhythm
as the score clearly states
so with energy and style
the orchestra creates
a haven for a while
where we can go
to hear, sing and dream
until the last note
when we shout Bravo!

Love this Bertie! I can almost hear them tuning up...and with 4 basses that must have been quite a sound!
A symphony of color! This is beautiful, Bertie - and Sophie is so lucky to have you as her grandmother.
So timely! Phillip and I will be in Lancaster tonight to see the symphony. Your poem is so adorable and I feel like I am right there with you watching the joy on a child's face.
Lovely! and now I know who Sophie is by what Claire wrote. Lucky little girl to be presented with art of all kinds by a talented grandma.
Enjoy the concert, Mary Beth...we loved the Marquez piece..interesting fun and lively!
This is wonderful Bertie--the orchestra, the audience, the theater--what a great job!
