On Friday, November 25, 2016, at 8pm, I attended the Mozart and Brahms’ concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall’s Los Angeles Philharmonic in Los Angeles, California.

Not saying I did not enjoy them, because I did, but I did find myself yawning a few times. The whole experience was good. It was my first time attending this venue and I was with good company. I have entered into a whole new world when it comes to this style of music, classical
