Jonesboro welcomed the Arkansas Symphony at Riceland Hall at the Fowler Center on Sunday afternoon. It was a cloudy afternoon with some light rain, a perfect day for relaxing with beautiful music. The musicians must have looked out at the audience with disappointment because it was very poorly attended. Folks, we have an opportunity not many communities have in the productions brought to the Fowler Center. Let’s take advantage of this! Our young people will grow up without knowing the beauty of classical music if they are not introduced to it. It may not “take” for them, but let’s at least give them the chance to decide on their own if it is enjoyable to them. I saw one father with his teenage daughter and they had obviously had such a good time. The best of any kind of music is enticing, and we all probably enjoy one more than the other, but one kind “speaks” to our soul…….and it just might be classical. mlm
