Proud pop 3
Another night of dueling concerts, or something like that. Connor and two classmates performed an original Connor Anderson composition -- a world debut? -- as part of the middle school's music program finale, a piece Connor wrote for drums and two keyboards. Kinda cool, sort of Hearts-in-Space meets drum and bass, or at least drum and keyboards. Then I left him there to listen to 30 other songs written and performed by classmates and drove north over to Northridge to meet Kristen and her parents and listen to Reade playing with the Northridge High string orchestra and full orchestra do a great program, including bits from The King and I, Star Wars, the Carmen Suite and others. They did a great job. Pop was proud. Tomorrow night we'll all go hear Part II of the middle school extravaganza as Reade plays with her friends their piece.
