La Mer by Claude Debussy is a very beautiful piece of music. I think the concert was wonderfully done. The music sent chills down my spine and I was actually able to sit there and listen. One thing I would have changed is to have the live streaming video of the orchestra members displayed on the screen behind the orchestra. I found it a little distracting because I found myself looking at the musician without listening to the music. I would have enjoyed the concert more if it had been even earlier in the day. In my opinion concert music is so quiet, at least usually in the first movement, that sometimes I get sleepy. I think I could have had a better experience if the concert had been earlier, because I already felt tired when it started. After listening to the music, it only increased my drowsiness. I've only been to a few classical concerts, but I have to say this was by far my favorite. The other two I attended when I was younger, so that might also influence my opinion because I didn't appreciate how amazing this music really was. We had a great time...
