I would to tell you about my last visit to a wonderful concert. I am not a big fan of classical music and have never been to musical theater. But my current friend is a pianist. Music is his life and his hobby, his studies and his work. He invited me to a piano concert last Saturday night. I didn't want to leave, but I didn't want to hurt him either. And so we went to the theater. I had a great experience. It was such beautiful gentle music, beautiful hall, beautiful interior, my loving friend ... There were unforgettable exciting moments. I was pleasantly surprised by the magnificence of the musical sounds and the beauty that surrounded us. The concert lasted over two hours, but they flew by very quickly. There were few spectators. Maybe everyone thinks that classical music is boring and just a waste of time. But I wouldn't say that. Next time I have no doubt and will definitely go to such a concert.
