Surprised by Concert

Last night, after our classes, we all went down to a restaurant called Sherrif's and enjoyed a variety of foods and ice creams. The teachers like to get together for lunch and dinner to share some fellowship and debrief about the day. It also builds a team spirit for cooperation and encouragement. After we ate, Dana, Mike, Joseph, and I all decided to walk up to the University district to catch a Metro home. When we got near the station, we heard some nice music coming from the National Theatre. We decided to take a detour and check it out. It turned out to be a special concert by the Bucharest Symphonic Pops.They played several songs we knew like Summertime, a Muppet Medley, selections from Phantom of the Opera, and I Did It My Way. They had a couple guest singers who were very good. They spoke perfect Romanian but when they sang the songs in English, they had no accent. We stayed for about 45 minutes until they had a French guy who got up to sing. He had an awful voice as he tried to sing To Dream the Impossible Dream. I think I have a good impression of him if you ever want to see and hear it. In any case, it made us leave quickly. Otherwise, it was a pleasant surprise to be a part of this special event.
