Okay, it finally happened.  I was electrified by a concert.  For years I’ve been going to the philharmonic waiting for the feeling of being totally enchanted.  Tonight I went with no expectations, worried that having to wear a mask for two hours is going to be a life-threatening experience or someone will breathe viruses onto us, or some other tragedy.  But Pinchas Zukerman played Bartok’s Concerto for Viola and Orchestra with a virtuosity I can’t remember encountering, and the orchestra was so wonderful with Tschaikovsky’s Symphony #4, I didn’t mind the intellectual games Ligeti played in”Atmosphere.”  So if you are able to get to Tel Aviv for this concert, do it.  

And oh yes there was an earthquake today.

I’m still fluttering.
