Last week, I went to a classical music concert at the Civic Center. Because the concert was on a Tuesday, of my friends could come with me, so I went alone. The concert was really good, but when I got there, there were seats left. There was announcement that it was sold out! Fortunately, after I waited, guest had claimed seat 13f, so I got to see the concert anyway. It was an all-woman orchestra, so of the musicians were men. The orchestra was perfect, but there were programs left for me, so I knew of the composers! It was a wonderful experience, but I was sorry of my friends could share it with me!
