Last Friday I went to the Spanish Orchestra with several other Rose Scholars at Bailey Hall. I thought the music was very dynamic and active, like the Latin music I have heard before. It was interesting that the pianist spoke Spanish occasionally and many of the audience responded him. More just than great instrument performance, there were three amazing singers and one of them recently joined the Orchestra, according to the introduction. I also saw people randomly start to dance with the music on the hallway and I enjoyed the joyful and beautiful music.

In my free time I also listen to some Latin music and I like Shakira’s music very much. In fact, I just went to see Zootopia tonight and Shakira did an amazing theme song for it! I hope to learn more about Spanish music and their culture. Look forward to more opportunities about music!
