In 3 days, I attended 3 very different musical events. First, on Thursday evening ((/12), I was at Krannert for a concert by the Jupiter string quartet, who performed works by Hayden, Benjamin Britten, and Mendelssohn. Then Friday was the park district's "jazz walk" at Meadowbrook park, where a bunch of different groups were set up along the mile+ path performing whatever works they wanted, although presumably it should come within some version of jazz. (Actually, I got an early start on that, since the district hosted food and a piano player for volunteers before the main groups started playing.) Finally, yesterday (Saturday) I went over to Taylorville for the Sacred Harp (that's shape note singing) annual state convention. A large contrast in types of music, but allenjoyable.
