Tonight, I was really inspired. I went to Marina Lomazov's piano concert at the Koger center and it was sooooooo amazingly brilliant. She is one of the greatest pianists ever, in my opinion, next to Martha Argerich. I took my piano teacher, because she didn't have tickets and wanted to see it badly and I do not regret going one bit. It was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life to be able to be surrounded by the beautiful, powerful, emotional music of Marina playing the piano with the Philharmonic. It was astonishing...absolutely magical. Marina is Lucy's piano teacher and I know that one day, Lucy will be the star of huge concerts just like that. She has always been destined to be a pianist. The second movement of Marina's second concerto (shostakovich) was so powerful and I cried. I honestly didn't know that music had so much power of me until then. When Marina played the last note of that second movement, I held my breath, because I wasn't ready for the movement to end. I could have sat there and let the last note ring in my ears for forever. I have now grown to realize that Marina is one of my idols. Although she isn't in theatre, which is what I want to do, she has helped me see that I can reach my dreams and she has helped me to understand that all I have to do is work hard and put my heart into my work through her music. Next time I see her, I will thank her.
