“When children listen to music, they don’t just listen. They melt into the melody and flow with the rhythm. Something inside starts to unfold its wings — soon the child and the music are one.” — Michael Jackson

Friday evening brought a trip downtown to our Symphony. After we admired every decked hall,  we listened to the score performed live while we watched the movie “Home Alone.” It was the ultimate holiday boost of inspiration.

It was inspirational on more than one level.

Check out this little boy.

After the movie was over, the symphony played a few more holiday tunes and this little guy had all the feels. I’m thinking he has a future as a conductor. Somehow he made the evening more magical.

Then again, children and music together make everything more magical.
