My primary motivation for this trip was the opportunity to see a performance at Disney Hall (picture below). So, Thursday night Brian, Sarah, and I are going to hear Gustavo Dudamel lead the LA Philharmonic in a performance of Mozart's Requiem (brief notes of the piece and a decent YouTube video of the piece.)

Included in the performance is The Miserere by Arvo Pärt. For those of you not familiar with his work, I encourage you to listen to the YouTube presentation and read his brief bio. I am really excited about this and about having Brian and Sarah accompany me.  Who knows - maybe there's a reality tv opportunity here!
