Symphony

Having the opportunity to listen to the Fry Street Quartet last week was an incredible experience. It was amazing to hear such talented musicians who obviously care very much about what they do. One thing that really stuck out to me, though, were the differences. The principle of symphony talks a lot about working together to create something better, but I think an important thing to add to that definition is different things working together to create something better. For example, you could have 4 violins play the different parts of the song, but it wouldn't sound very good. It's only when we have different pieces come together that we really create something amazing. It's more difficult to combine dissimilar pieces, but I believe it is the only way to create true symphony.
