RP: Orchestra Concert
Who: Astoria and OPEN (Kit, Daphne, Blaise, Callie anyone else interested in going??)
When: Sunday, June 25, mid-afternoon
Where: Concert hall in London
What: Astoria's summer concert! Mingling with each other and/or Astoria afterward.
Warnings: None
The concert hall that had been rented was large and beautiful, housed in an older building in the heart of London, and Astoria had been filled with a measure of pride that most of the seats had been filled with attendees. Like many of the arts, she knew the orchestra wasn't as celebrated or respected as other pursuits in her world, but it was clearly still loved.
It was far from her first performance, but she still felt the jittery nerves when she first stepped onto the stage with her fellow musicians. They'd all dressed in concert black and white, and her own gown had been carefully selected for being both beautiful and modest, something she could stand out in as a soloist, but that wouldn't step outside the lines of propriety.
And when she played, she positively shined. Music brought her to life, made her feel comfortable and alive in a way nothing else in her life ever had, and that showed in the way she played. The concert lasted an hour and a half, with a small intermission halfway through. Afterward, with their instruments tucked away in the secured backstage area, she filtered out into the reception hall. As anxious as the crowds made her, she knew that socializing with the patrons of her art was an important part of this whole process.
