My wife and I attended the Oct. 4 evening concert performed by the Everett Philharmonic Orchestra at the Everett Civic Auditorium. As we were enjoying the marvelous music, it occurred to me that I was witnessing a moment in time that holds promise for the whole world community.
Here were 60-plus talented musicians, representing multiple ethnicities, conducted by charismatic maestro Dr. Paul-Elliott Cobbs, flawlessly performing classical masterworks composed by Beethoven, Strauss and Brahms as if we were at Carnegie Hall. They were not concerned about their different religions, politics, races, economics or any other differences that might divide them. They played harmoniously as one to present the best possible interpretation of this music.
We are very fortunate to have local access to these great classical works. I encourage you to attend a concert by this Philharmonic Orchestra. Maybe music is the answer.
