Music Recital

We saw an ad for a free concert at the nearby music conservatory, so after dinner tonight we went over to check it out. The event took place in what looked like an undersized school auditorium, with plastic chairs set up facing an open area with microphones and a piano. The 'school environment' persisted as a group of 10-year-olds took the stage to perform some songs on piano, flute, and violin. We very much felt like we were at a sibling's amateur recital. The ad we had seen advertised the event as containing jazz, poetry, and Ethiopian music, and the next group to take the stage delivered all three at once. It was a bizarre but interesting experience, and well worth the price of admission.
