Chicago Symphony Orchestra

Vince and I went to see the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The symphony presented music by Haydn. Pinchas Zuckerman, the guest conductor also performed a violin concerto that I really enjoyed. It was interesting to know that Haydn composed the concerto for the violinist Luigi Tomasini, who used to work as a valet for Prince Esterhazy, Haydn's patron. Tomasini must have been really talented for the prince to notice him and send him off to study advanced violin and for Haydn to compose a concerto for him.
