Concerto

A few minutes later, we were already at the Hippodrome Theatre, where the concert would take place. The entrance reminded me of the Finance Facility at Harvard, with it's Greek columns.

When we walked through the front door, we saw a group of people arranged somewhat roughly in a line, waiting to enter the theater room.

The concert wasn't free, but at just $10 a ticket, it was practically a steal.

As we entered the theater, I noticed it was set up differently from the usual layout. Instead of the traditional cinema arrangement with the stage at the front, the audience was seated on three sides, almost encircling the stage.

There was a beautiful white Jamaha piano in the middle of the stage and a white chair beside it.

There were almost no empty seats left in the stands.

Hana nudged me on the arm. "We can sit there," she said, pointing to the front stands.

We found two neighboring seats and settled down.
