I visited the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC on Friday to listen to the "Jazz Piano Christmas" concert. I had really looked forward to the show- I'm still trying to learn more about jazz, and, of course, you know my love of Christmas. Overall, I had a great time!
- I love listening to piano music and the pianists were fantastic. I am amazed at how quickly they can move their hands across the keys- and memorize all those notes! I wish I had more music knowledge to better describe the concert!
- I would have liked to hear more Christmas music- the performers played The Christmas Song, Little Drummer Boy, and O Little Town of Bethlehem, but the other arrangements weren't recognizable songs and didn't have much relation to the holidays.
- The show was interesting as it was also being recorded to be played on NPR in the future. So the host spoke as if he were on the radio, and those of us in the audience had cues of when to applaud as well.
- The show lasted 90 minutes without an intermission, which seemed like a good length.
- The Kennedy Center itself was decorated for the holidays- I've included a few of my pictures below.
