For Brooklyn (and beyond) music lovers

After all the excitement of last week’s Most Romantic blogathon, I’ve been lambasted by the school vacation known as Presidents’ Week, which also incorporates MLK Day. (Remember when Washington and Lincoln’s collective birthdays meant a long weekend? Well, that’s no more — it’s been expanded in NYC to gobble up an entire week.) That means my almost-five-year-old daughter Thea has been home from school.

Thea’s been having a great time, careening from playdate to playdate. But I’ve had my time in the studio limited. The great thing about living in my bucolic Brooklyn neighborhood of Ditmas Park is that there’s never any shortage of kids. At this age, the kids are beyond cute and a lot of fun.

This is a roundabout way to say that I hope to squeeze a Creativity Friday post in this week, if the planets align. In the meantime, I want to give a shout out to my favorite community orchestra, the Brooklyn Symphony. They’re giving an exciting-sounding concert this Sunday in Brooklyn Heights at the historic St. Ann’s Church.
