Yesterday my spouse and I attended a concert of classical music. For five years the Washington Heights Chamber Orchestra has brought beautiful music to this upper Manhattan enclave. Later we attended the opening of an art show down the road. Local artists displayed their own creations to an enthusiastic community. There was also an excellent dance performance.
As I thought about it today, there are the composers; those men and women who create and write lyrics. A piece of work in their own image. Dancers project their personalities in their performance.
Artists create their work through images and colors. As a poet, I love words and discouraging words that I never knew existed. It is truly amazing how all the arts are intertwined. The arts are about life. Without it, life would be dull.
