Go Sooth Your Soul by Coby Goodrich

            The Boston Symphony Orchestra delivers power, grace, respite, and sooths your soul. On a chilly night on March 19^th, the critic crew traveled into Boston to watch the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The Symphony’s theater was impressive, with two balconies over an expansive base section, and a clean stage backed with white walls and outlined in an intricate pattern of gold design. The orchestra played three different pieces from Mozart; his 39^th, 40^th, and 41^st symphonies. The stage was dominated by violins, but also held many other instruments such as drums, basses, flutes, brass instruments, and a couple more.

            Music has a way of soothing and calming people (depending on what genre), and the BSO did just that. The orchestra was sharp on their timing, and kept their time beautifully. The music captivated not just me, but as I looked around it was evident on the faces of many others that it was captivating to them as well. I don’t know much about the specifics of music but I can say that it sounded very professional and very good. The music wrapped the audience up in a blanket and held them comfortably for the entire performance.

            If possible, I would definitely advise going to see the Boston Symphony Orchestra, although I would not recommend taking young kids as they might think it boring. The music will take you from reality and offer you respite in its soothing and powerful sound.
