3 Concerts in 3 Weeks!

These past three weeks I have rung in the holiday's by going to three Christmas concerts!

I attended my first concert at the National Concert Hall with my host mother and our neighbors. We listened to a French violinist play many classical songs. It was very interesting! Not my kind of music, but I take every opportunity to experience something new, and make the best of it. Sometimes I had to envision an orchestra behind him and then maybe Adele belting it out in front of him, but it was still good!

The second concert I attended was with my friend from Thanksgiving, Sister Mary Beth. We listened and watched many Taiwanese choirs, and famous performers.  We enjoyed Christmas tunes with some added Taiwanese twists! It was really nice to sing-a-long to the songs I knew in a great Christmas setting. Being with a great friend made the night even better! So thankful for Sister Mary Beth and her company on this night!

My third and last concert for the month of December was a fun one! I attended the National Concert Hall again, this time with five of my exchange student friends - France, Germany, and the U.S.. We watched a German and Cuban Percussion band called the Klazz Brothers. It was so much fun! There were five guys in the band, playing the piano, the bass, drums, and two Cuban men on the bongo's! Christmas meets Cuba - good classic Christmas songs with the cha cha cha of Cuban music. These men were fun and funny.  Being surrounded by a Taiwanese audience was all that more funny! Dancing and singing along to this great music was great and a unique way to try and get into the Christmas spirit.

I really enjoyed all three concerts and I am so happy I experienced them! Thank you to all who came along and included me these nights!
