Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra 


After 3 days of holidays there was no interest in me to go back to work and sit all through the day in front of the PC, but cant help it. As a sudden spark of rescue I found one of my colleague who started discussing about classical music, though he was not much interested in it, I showed little interest and he offered two tickets to a Western classical music by to one of the best Classical music Orchestra. I scanned through whole of my known people list who can potentially join me, but with no luck. My colleague had given me all the details including what time I should reach the station and how many minutes I might have to walk and where to buy a sandwich too. I Really appreciated it.
At last it was 6 and I could not find any and I decided to go alone. Though I was a bit late, I arrived at the Royal Albert Hall just in time for the show to start. I was paralyzed by the view the hall offered me, never in my life had I seen such a beautiful hall for a show. Two wonderful classical music shows, first one was Haydn's  military classic and the second one was Shostakovich's Tenth – one of the composer's most popular symphonies.

The Hall was completely full and audience were even standing to see the performance and it was a continuous 10 mins applause that we could hear at the end of both shows. I should really thank both BBC proms and my colleague who gave me the tickets and made me to visit Albert hall.
