zing went the strings of my heart...

Was't that the line Judy Garland once used in a song.
Well tonight I had a very special evening. A few weeks ago i signed up for tickets to attend a concert. Not just any concert but an evening int the Amsterdam Concert Gebouw, and witness the performance of the Concertgebouw Orchestra and its new conductor. The oppertunity was alsn special becaus GALA the Gay and Lesbian Association of ING participated. I was lucky enough to get a ticket and GALA had reserverd 50 ticket for its members. So we met this evening gays people from within the ING Group. During intermission a guy of the concertgebouw, explained to us how the effort of the orchestra combined with the enspirited way of conducting lead to a hogher qualitiy level of the perfomance.

I must say, it sounded wonderful. The music of Strawinsky and Tschaikosvky was played. I had a real nice evening.
After the concert we were taken into the Julianafoyer and drinks were served. had a pleasant conversation with Fernando, the partner of Linda. Also spoke with Frederik, Allan, David and his boyfriend. And to Jaap, a member of our choir Manoeuvre.
Arrived home at 12.30... Tired but satisfied.
